SCILT, Scotland's National Centre for Languages

An online event for university staff, secondary school leaders, policy makers, curriculum writers and careers advisers.

To mark the conclusion of the second phase of Generation Global, the ERASMUS+ project with our partners in Denmark and Norway, SCILT, Scotland’s National Centre for Languages, is hosting a half-day online event on the Zoom platform. Aimed at education professionals, a series of short presentations and discussions will focus on the value of languages and intercultural skills to a wide range of academic and professional fields.The event will allow participants to engage with careers advisers, secondary school leaders, policy makers and university lecturers from a broad range of academic disciplines. Prominent figures in Scottish education, through keynote and plenary speeches, will highlight the importance and benefits of an international outlook, while attendees will have the opportunity to take part in subject-specific break-out discussions.Each will share first-hand experiences of the benefits of linguistic and intercultural skills to students and graduates. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to view the launch of a toolkit designed to help schools and course leaders to incorporate languages into curricula, and to assist young people to identify career pathways which will allow them to exploit knowledge of additional languages and other cultures.The event will provide participants with opportunities to network and seek expert advice from our associate partners from local government, Education Scotland, Skills Development Scotland and from a number of Scottish universities.Speaker biographies will be made available soon.
