LERI

What is LERI?

The project LERI: Peer Learning in Language Friendly Networks is led by the Rutu Foundation in partnership with the University College of Teacher Education of Vienna (PH Wien). It connects the global the Language Friendly School (LFS) Network with the voXmi network of schools in Austria to strengthen cultural and language inclusion in schools through peer learning.

Language Friendly Subject Lessons

Teachers from Austria, the Netherlands, Canada and Saba (Dutch Caribbean) who participated in the LERI project, designed language friendly subject lessons. They created videos to show teachers how to make, use and adapt these lessons in their own classrooms. The goal was that the teachers learned from each other and spread this knowledge among their colleagues in their own schools. The language friendly subject lessons and their videos (including translations) were made available through a series of webinars that are available online.

Activities in the LERI project

The activities of the project included three two-day Teacher Workshops: one online, in January 2022, the second one was held in Amsterdam in April 2022 and the third one was held in Vienna in October 2022. In addition, to strengthen both the Language Friendly School Network and the voXmi Network, board meetings and partner meetings were organized between 2021 and 2023.
