Language Station

Education · Cohesion · Linguistic Diversity

PLURI is a two-year European project in Finland and Germany. Together with educators, families, students, researchers and communities, we explore how multilingualism can become a more visible and natural part of education and everyday life.

How
we work?

Our activities are connected: a question from a Discussion Club can become a workshop, an activity from the workshop becomes part of the Language Station – and is then tested with teachers and trainers.

  1. Workshops

    Exploring multilingualism through artistic practice – with words, images, sounds and materials.

  2. PLURI Club

    Practitioners from different fields share experiences and approaches to multilingualism in tandem exchanges.

  3. Online courses

    Short videos and reflection tasks on multilingualism in education – for educators and facilitators.

  4. Podcasts

    Conversations about language, identity and belonging – with researchers, practitioners and people with lived experience.

  5. Recommendations

    Recommendations for educational practice, institutions and policymakers – drawn from research and practice.

  6. Developing the Language Station

    How the Language Station grew – through exchanges with practitioners, artists and researchers and experiments with different groups.

  7. Scientific seminars

    During PLURI scientific seminars the team connects with researchers working on topics related to multilingualism, translanguaging and education to exchange knowledge and discuss questions emerging from the project. PLURI creates a space to connect current research with experiences and insights from PLURI’s practical activities.
