How do you feel when you write and speak in Icelandic about migration, multilingualism and pedagogy? Are there any concepts in languages that you know that you find difficult to translate into Icelandic? Who can make new words? How are languages connected with feelings?
Let's put our languages on the table and play with words. This event is for students, researchers, teachers, and everyone interested in writing or speaking in “academic language”. We’ll use creative methods and exercises to play with academic texts. We’ll talk about, challenge and invent concepts used to write about migration – multilingualism and pedagogy. We will develop a list of words and definitions that will be part of a dictionary developed within the “Love Speech” project led by the Reykjavík City Library. Language of the event: Icelandic and English, potentially other languages.
The workshop is free, open to all ages, and part of the Love Speech Library project.
