Worldmaking Live

Language Acts

Since 2016 Language Acts and Worldmaking has funded small projects and events across the UK and abroad to heighten our awareness of the ways in which languages are experienced, practised, taught and researched. Join us as we bring many of these projects together for a diverse, exciting showcase of talks, presentations, stalls, performances and films, in what will be a celebration of all that the scheme has achieved so far: a Worldmaking community.
This event is wheelchair accessible. Tickets include a buffet lunch. Language Acts and Worldmaking will be in touch a week prior to the event to check dietary requirements - vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, allergies, but if you have any questions please contact <A HREF="mailto:languageacts@kcl.ac.uk" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">languageacts@kcl.ac.uk</A>.
