The Eduplus Network has completed its activities with a face-to-face 2 day seminar (after 2 years of online events). The international event was well-attended, with participants from several countries. As part of the event, the intern for CULT, Irene Calderer, was invited to take part in a roundtable of young researchers to discuss their perspectives on plurilingual education, as experienced in the classrooms. The seminar counted on several international experts, who explained their most recent research in the field: Dr. Raphael Berthele, Dr. Enrica Piccardo and Dr. Gessica de Angelis as well as local representation through Dr. Olga Esteve and Montserrat Montegut. After two years of collaboration, the research groups (CILCEAL, CLA, DREAM, GLAUR, GREIP, LAELA) will finalize the network project with a publication outlining the results of reports on plurilingual education in four autonomous regions of Spain. This and other output will be available before the end of the year.
GREIP’s insight
Después de dos años de colaboración en línea, fue inspirador y emotivo reunirse finalmente a todos los grupos de investigación de la Eduplus red en persona. Aunque la financiación del ministerio ha terminado, los grupos acordaron mantener la sinergia y se comprometieron a organizar al menos un seminario en línea por año. Se espera que surjan otras oportunidades, ya que se acordó que la experiencia fue mutuamente beneficiosa para todos los involucrados.
