SCIENTIFIC MEDIATION WORKSHOPS

Since 2013, we've been developing a range of scientific mediation workshops around the research unit's research themes. We offer three activities per workshop, but each activity can be offered independently. These workshops have been developed with the general public in mind, so they are suitable for both children and adults (click on the images for a description in French of the workshops):

Sounds in language  At the heart of sounds of the world's languages!		Child language acquisition  How do we learn to speak?		Brain & Language  Where is language in the brain?		Language diversity  L'incroyable diversité des langues dans le monde		[kosmopoli:t]  Linguistic diversity around a game
