Cambridge Community School Leadership Forum 2024: Unleashing the Potential of Bilingual Children through Collaborative Partnerships

Cambridge Community School Leadership Forum 2024Unleashing the Potential of Bilingual Children through Collaborative Partnerships

 

Under the auspices of the Centre for the Study of Global Human Movement, Cambridge Community School Leadership Forum aims to bring together leaders and managers of community-based heritage language schools in the Cambridge area and establish a home-school-community-university partnership to support migrant background children in the city. The 2024 Forum focuses on two themes: ‘motivation, pedagogy and wellbeing in diverse contexts of heritage language learning’ and ‘Cambridgeshire Libraries and community school collaborative partnership’. Professor Ken Cruickshank from Sydney Institute of Community Languages Education at the University of Sydney and Ana Silva from Cambridgeshire Libraries co-lead this event with the CRiCLE team and Cambridge Bilingual Groups. This annual event also aims to establish a regional coalition to facilitate rapid policy consultation on and coordination of local support for heritage language education.
