CILT Central London Regional Support Group
Caroline Conlon, CILT RSG manager, asked me to put together a workshop on `Ideas for the Festive Season’- given the number of different languages, faiths and cultures in London she asked me to make it suitable for as many languages as possible and cover other festivals, not just Christmas. Quite a tall order, but I enjoyed the challenge and the research was really interesting.
I demoed activities for French, Spanish, German and Italian though most would work equally well in any language. I gave suggestions for `Winter’ festivals from October to February- Eid, Hannukah, Christmas and Chinese New Year.
We sang songs, made puppets and generally had some festive fun through the medium of the different languages.
