Languages from the cradle

Languages from the Cradle is a European Union/Lingua 1-funded project aimed at promoting the learning of European languages, particularly the less widely used and taught languages through lullabies. Lullabies in the following languages: Czech, Danish, English, Italian, Romanian and Turkish will be collected and representative lullabies will be produced into a CD collection. A book with language learning activities based on the selected lullabies is being produced as well as digital-based interactive activities, also aimed at supporting language learning. To promote dissemination of the project’s results and products, a website has been set-up wherein Europeans can send in their contribution of local lullabies.
The partnership is composed of eight organisations from seven European countries:
Coordinator:
Cukurova University, Turkey

Partners:
Synthesis Centre for Research and Education, Cyprus
University of West Bohemia, Czech Republic
Videnscenter for Integration, Denmark
Alexander Technological Educational Institute -Thessaloniki, Greece
