The Aim of the Meetings

What is the purpose of these meetings?
To adapt and improve the “Thealingua Suitcase” through practical workshops and exchange sessions.

The Thealingua Suitcase is a pedagogical tool for theatre-based foreign language teaching, created in 2019. It includes: a method handbook, skill sheets, activities and their materials…

This tool is meant to evolve — to support multilingualism, complex identities, and to respond to and embrace social changes.
To do this, we need to develop our method further, through analysing our practices, training and self-training experiences.

The first meeting will take place in Berlin from 26 February to 1 March 2024.

The second meeting will take place in Mulhouse from 8 to 10 April 2025.

The third meeting will take place in Saint-Étienne from 7 to 11 July 2025.
