The initiative
“More languages for reading” is a Third Mission/social impact project (academic year 2024/2025) funded by UNINT, proposed and coordinated by a group of UNINT teachers (Barbara Altomonte, Lorenzo Blini, Manuela Frontera, Najla Kalach, Laura Mori, Lucilla Pizzoli) in collaboration with the University Language Centre and the programme Born to read.
The meetings are led by trained professionals and volunteers to offer participatory reading, designed to support young children's cognitive development.
The activities are aimed at facilitating inclusion by eliminating linguistic and cultural barriers: exposure to different languages, also proposed through educational play materials, stimulates curiosity towards other languages and enhances cultural diversity.
Each meeting represents an opportunity to create texts and materials together that are useful for building new adventures in multiple languages.
