Short presentations will give anyone interested the opportunity to get a taste of Bengali, German sign language, French, and Arabic. To mark the European Day of Languages on Friday, September 26, Dr. Anne Gadow from the University of Bremen will talk about multilingualism in educational institutions. Participation is free of charge. Further details about the program can be found at www.hs-bremerhaven.de/sprachenwoche .

The Language Week aims to show that language should not only be seen as a barrier, but that diversity also brings with it opportunities. The Center for Equal Opportunities and Diversity at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, the student initiative InkluZone, and the Language Center of the Universities in the Land of Bremen worked closely together to organize the event and developed the sample courses together with experts and students. Anyone who would like to learn more about one of the languages offered is welcome to participate.
