Language Explorers facilitator training and work opportunity
Train as a Language Explorers facilitator and work with young children and their families in a creative and multilingual way! Mother Tongues is currently training individuals to enter a (paid) panel of facilitators to draw from when delivering workshops in County Dublin.
Are you an artist? Do you have experience developing/delivering creative experiences to children? Are you fluent in another language other than English? Are you passionate about making a difference?
At Mother Tongues, we envision a society that embraces different cultures and languages. Our mission is to curate multilingual creative experiences where artists and communities connect across languages and cultures.
Language Explorers is Mother Tongues’ flagship programme for children aged 3 to 6. Language Explorers provides a child-centred, interactive and engaging experience for all children – monolingual, bilingual and plurilingual.
Who should register?
Developed to be equal parts practical and inspirational, this new training is designed for artists with experience developing and/or delivering creative experiences to children and a passion for working with this audience.
