Panel discussion, story hour & book swap | Celebrating Multilingual Families
In celebration of European Day of Languages, the Alliance Française is pleased to partner with fellow Chicago-based European Union National Institutes of Culture (EUNIC) to present a panel discussion on raising multilingual children.
During the panel discussion, children ages 0–12 are welcomed for a multilingual story hour in the cozy Brown Médiathèque.
After the program, the whole family is invited to the Eleanor Wood Prince Salon for complimentary café, croissants, and kid-friendly snacks.
Guests will have the opportunity to:
- continue the conversation with our panelists,
- connect with other families raising multilingual children,
- browse a selection of free used books in French, German, Spanish, and Lithuanian
- learn more about European cultures and the immigrant heritages of Chicago from our EUNIC partners
Children’s activities will be provided during the reception.
