WHEN: Sundays 10.00-12.00
DATES: 23.2 (note 10.00 -11.30) ., 9.3., 30.3., 13.4., 4.5., ja 18.5.
The Club is run by our volunteers Marianna and Claudia. All our Belingual Club activities are designed for children between the ages of 2 to 6 years, but the whole family is welcome to join.
The clubs are meant for all families who use Italian as a home language. This means that adults and children may have different levels of language capacity, the club is a safe space for all families to learn together with different types of activities.
Belingual activities are pedagogically designed to support your children’s language and identity development, but most of all we hope that children (and parents) will have fun, feel they are part of a community and form a positive relationship with their home language and culture.
Parents play an important role in clubs. We hope that you will encourage and help both your children and the other children to attend. Get involved, sing, dance and have fun with your children! Please also remember that our clubs are run by volunteers (who are often parents themselves, they are not early years educators) and they will always be happy to get a helping hand during the club. The more involved parents are in the club, but more fun and engaging it will be for the whole family!
Communication:
Communication related to the club will mainly be through the club’s WhatsApp Group, which you will be sent a link to once you have registered.
