Learning a new language is an exciting adventure, but many young students find language learning disconnected from their daily lives. To change that, the Globetrotters project introduces an interactive approach that connects language learning with cultural discovery.
The need for a new perspective
Traditional language teaching methods usually focus on grammar and vocabulary memorisation, which leaves little room for creativity. However, language is more than just words; it is a way to understand different cultures and traditions. Developing intercultural dialogue and multilingualism is important, especially from an early age.
The Globetrotters project will provide young students with an innovative way to experience languages, making learning more immersive and playful.
Our proposition
Globetrotters will introduce primary school students to diverse languages and cultures in an interactive way. We will:
- Develop engaging lessons and guides filled with cultural and linguistic materials,
- Create a gamified platform to enhance learning through storytelling and digital exploration,
- Train educators on innovative teaching methods, giving them tools to make language learning more enjoyable and accessible,
- Involve parents, extending language education beyond the classroom.
By incorporating fictional characters and digital journeys across various countries, Globetrotters will transform language learning from a classroom assignment into an exciting adventure.
What we hope to achieve
The project’s goal is to improve language skills and cultural awareness among young students. We aim to:
- Strengthen intercultural competencies,
- Improve students’ motivation for language learning,
- Provide teachers with development opportunities and modern resources.
Globetrotters is ready to transform the way children experience languages thanks to our different partners who bring expertise in language learning, digital education and intercultural exchange.
