BELINGUAL LANGUAGE CLUBS
|
Belingual language clubs are volunteer-led clubs where families with under school-aged children, who speak the same language as one of your home languages come together to play, sing, craft and have fun. The clubs support children's language and identity development and give families an opportunity to experience their language and culture in a community. The clubs meet every two week for two hours.
We currently have clubs in English, Spanish, Russian, Oshindonga, German, Italian, Farsi and Igbo in Helsinki and Espoo, as well as clubs starting in Swahili, Yoruba and Greek soon. Click here for the club schedule and registration. |
