Children & Language: Helping Your Child Thrive in Denmark
Language is closely connected to children’s sense of well-being, confidence and belonging – and plays a central role in how they thrive socially, emotionally, and in their daily lives.
Multilingual children have a unique gift – and a complex language journey. How do children learn new languages – and how do they maintain their mother tongue(s)? What stages does your child go through in the process? And what should you do if your child refuses to use a specific language?
Before the event, participants will receive a short video introduction to the topic to help you get the most out of it and prepare your questions. At the event we then dedicate most of the time to a live Q&A session with expert Amanda Sandegaard. Amanda is a linguist and MA in children’s language and literature. She has been sharing her knowledge for 6 years at the Copenhagen Libraries and is the creator of the video series Strengthen Your Child’s Language.
The event is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg ØKS program and is part of the Cross-border Talent Bridge project. Learn more about the project here.

Please note that this is a hybrid event, which means that participants can choose to attend in person or online. The location of the physical event will be somewhere in central Copenhagen but will be announced very soon so make sure to stay updated.
