Event description

Inspire our students to understand the importance of language learning in a global market and technological world.

We would like to inspire and allow pupils the opportunity to understand the importance of language learning to enable transferable skills and the edge after leaving secondary school. We currently teach French to all students at KS3 and have atleast 70-80% of students studying French at GCSE and this will eventually be available to all of our students. We would like oue students to understand the value and how it can benefit them in the future with job opportunities,etc...We would like you to develop a challenge that allows students to see how theie linguistic knowledge and cultural awareness could support them in a job role within your company and how this could lead to greater opportunities. We have more time available throughout the day and can be flexible to you. We have availability for this event on Thurs 8th July and/or Fri 9th July. The same challenge could be run over the two days 4 times for each year group if you could accommodate this. Many thanks.
