These webinars have been produced by carefully curating specific topics aimed at dispelling the most common myths and addressing challenges associated with the implementation of bilingual programs. The support from Erasmus+ funding has enabled us to secure professional presenters who have generously shared their wealth of knowledge and expertise on the relevant topics, contributing to the creation of this enriching content. They are freely provided to assist new and expanding programs, allowing you to utilize them for the purpose of educating, informing and inspiring your communities.

RECORDINGS OF Community Conversations

The Bilingual Montessori Community Conversations serve as the catalyst for establishing a professional community that fosters mutual support in development and growth, around the topic of building bilingual programs for the general public. This platform welcomes educators from diverse perspectives, providing a space for learning, asking questions, and sharing experiences. It functions as a valuable resource for connection and content. Additionally, it serves as a hub for keeping participants informed about project outputs and activities made possible through Erasmus+ funding.
