On 14-15 April, the European Commission-funded project, MELT, held an Expert Seminar in Leeuwarden. The seminar gathered pre-school practitioners and experts in the field of pre-school education from across Europe to discuss experiences and share best practice. Several language communities were represented at the seminar including the Welsh, Frisian, Breton and Swedish.
The Multilingual Early Language Transmission (MELT) Project is a partnership between four language communities – Breton in Brittany, the Friesian language in Friesland, the Swedish language community in Finland, and the Welsh language in Wales. The Project is funded by the European Commission, and will run between 01 November 2009 and 31 October 2011.
