Roadmap
This roadmap explains how heritage language education can be integrated into regular schools in practical terms and what needs to be considered. Here you can find information about the legal and policy framework, teacher collaboration and training, school organisation and integration, and financial aspects that are relevant to guarantee heritage language education for every student.
The YLC! Handbook for Educators
This is a practical guide offering strategies, examples, and pedagogical tools to support heritage language teaching in diverse school contexts.
It’s designed to be accessible, adaptable, and rooted in real classroom experience.
We will soon translate the manual into the languages of the countries involved in our project.
YLC Teacher Network
This is a dedicated Microsoft Teams channel where heritage language teachers can connect, exchange materials, and stay informed. This space fosters peer learning and builds a sustainable community of practice across borders.
