About
We study the ecology of linguistically and culturally diverse environments.
Due to its geographical and historical situation, Luxembourg has a long-lasting experience in the management of multilingual communication and intercultural encounters. We accompany future teachers in the Bachelor en Sciences de l’Education in the field of Language Awareness and Cultural Openness with the aim to create inclusive classrooms in Luxembourg also for the years to come. Our students in the Master in Border Studies prepare themselves for professions in culturally and linguistically diverse environments, especially in regions with borders of different types (political, sociolinguistic, geographical or economic).
Our international partners from all the five continents seek to exchange with us and to learn from this exceptional density of languages we have called plurimultilingualism as it combines the individual and the collective levels of contact between human beings and the communities they represent.
Partners
With the partners from GRETI (Groupement de Recherches Transfrontalières Interdisciplinaires), we study interculturally diverse environments in the Greater Region, in professional and educational environments.
We offer a training in intercultural awareness at Université de Strasbourg, together with Hélène Langinier from EM Strasbourg.
We work on minority and minorized languages with Peter Mühlhäusler from University of Adelaide, Australia (Mobile Language Team) and with UNAH Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras at Tegucigalpa, especially with Cesar Vargas, an action-researcher from the Garífuna community.
