Project Timeline

Tonga Schools - Start of Project

October 2023 – Start of Project

The project start in October 2023 with interviews of school staff and plurilingua families to know what is missing in their communications. We aim at helping that communication for the well-being and success of the children at school.

Creation of an E-Learning Platform

We will create an e-learning platform where school staff will learn about multilingualism, the development of plurilingual children and how they can better communicate with plurilingual families.

Tonga Schools - Booklets for Parents

Booklet for Parents

We will write booklets that parents can fill in. They will be able to talk about their languages and cultures and how they matter for their families. They will be able to use those booklets to register their children at schools and communicate with them.

Parent’s Cafés

We will set up Parents’ Cafés in schools – a place within the school boundaries where parents can come and discuss about their children’s formal education.
