Objective
Languages from the Cradle aimed at promoting the learning of European languages, particularly the less widely used and taught languages through lullabies.
Activities
Lullabies in the following languages: Czech, Danish, English, Italian, Romanian and Turkish were collected and representative lullabies were produced into a CD collection. A book with language learning activities based on the selected lullabies was 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 was set-up wherein Europeans can send in their contribution of local lullabies.
Partnership
The partnership was composed of eight organizations from seven European countries:
Funding
