Provisional programme

DiM Project Multiplier Event

Grant Agreement Number – 2018-IT02-KA204-048332

DiM: Language as a vehicle of identity, knowledge and inclusion

 

The event aims to present the final outcomes of the DiM Project, funded by the European Erasmus Programme plus KA204 – Strategic Partnerships for Adult Education (2018-IT02-KA204-048332). The project entailed the creation of an online open source Multilingual Dictionary, mounted on a digital platform and made freely available to all. Several of the project’s key players will be present, including students, teachers and academics with expertise in the field.

The event provides an opportunity to share the project’s findings and to demonstrate the Dictionary’s uses. It will also afford us the opportunity to reflect and exchange views on current practices relating to the welcoming and inclusion of migrants. Those taking part in the exchange will include representatives from government institutions, from civil society and from the Secondary and Higher Education sectors
