In addition to those projects receiving a European Award for Languages this year, the judging panel would like to recognise the work of the following projects:

The Passport to export UKTI International trade competition
The Thomas Hardye School, Dorchester

This project saw budding young entrepreneurs in Year 11 pitching their business ideas to a panel of experts in France as part of a competition designed to develop students’ language skills in a business context.

Marie Curie and the discovery of radium
Théâtre Sans Frontières (TSF), Centre for Life, Newcastle (LIFE), Hexham Middle School, Corbrdige Middle School, Valley Gardens Middle School, Whitley Bay

This innovative project combines French language, science activities and drama role play in a day of discovery at the Centre for Life in Newcastle. Inquisitive Year 8 students were given the opportunity to step back in time to Paris 1898 and, taking on the role of Polish scientists, they explored the life and work of Marie Curie.

Languages on film
The University of Brighton

Pupils from local schools in Brighton have been getting a taste of the movie business. They have been working with undergraduates from the University of Brighton to produce creative film clips in German, French and Spanish as part of this motivating project which demonstrates how languages can be embedded into other areas of the curriculum.
