A web-based learning platform enables primary school children from all over Europe to work on multimedia-based, interactive learning units. They create multimedia-based portraits of themselves, their school and their environment – and exchange views with other Primalingua pupils throughout Europe. 

The pupils communicate through the languages they have in common: English, French or German. In addition they present their results in their native tongue.

The children are introduced to

• the creative use of media such as cameras, recording devices and PCs
• the authentic use of a foreign language as a means of communication
• the linguistic diversity as well as cultural similarities and differences within Europe.

Teachers working in our 50 European Primalingua primary schools acquire new methods and competence in both early foreign language teaching and in media application and didactics. Furthermore, both the Primalingua network and the learning platform offer the basis for further common projects and for the exchange of learning and teaching experience throughout Europe.

Primalingua benefits from the funding of the European programme “Lifelong Learning”, receiving € 305,000 (75% of its overall budget) from this source.
