Two Language Policy Networks

INCLUDE and LILAMA, co-financed by the EU’s Lifelong Learning Programme (Key activity 2 Languages, Multilateral Networks) can be considered as sister or companion networks. Together they provide synergy and added value for policy-makers and programmers interested in improving language policies for Multilingualism, under the Business and Social Inclusion perspectives.
The two networks were created with the aim of improving the design of language policies in Europe from two different and complementary perspectives: employability and regional competitiveness, on the one hand, and social inclusion, on the other.
INCLUDE
The INCLUDE Network, created in 2013, operates in the field of language policy and practice for the active social inclusion of groups at risk of exclusion. INCLUDE offers its members a number of facilities for keeping up to date with developments in the field, for planning new initiatives, raising awareness and incorporating language learning for inclusion of groups at risk in local, regional, or national policies. In 2014 INCLUDE will be open to new members. Organizations, institutions, language teachers, interpreters, policy-makers, policy consultants, migrants communities, and any other group or individuals interested in the theme of language learning for social inclusion are invited to join the Network.
LILAMA
LILAMA is a mutual learning platform for the exchange and dissemination of best practices contributing to the design and implementation of language policies oriented to labor market needs. Read more...
