SPEAK TO THE FUTURE – THE CAMPAIGN FOR LANGUAGES
“Speak to the Future – the Campaign for Languages in the UK”
The Languages Company is co-founder and a principal supporter of Speak to the Future – the Campaign for Languages in the UK.
Speak to the Future is a collaboration between all the major language organisations in the UK to make the case for languages. It was initially funded by the British Academy and supported by several other organisations.
At its heart, the Campaign had five objectives:
For each objective, the Campaign formed a working group of leading experts in the field seeking to influence policy and decision makers. For example, the primary working group submitted evidence to the national curriculum review and this contributed to the inclusion of languages as a statutory part of the new KS2 curriculum.
Speak to the Future engaged in several high-profile initiatives to garner support from the general public. For example:
Speak to the Future has made a major contribution to the Language Show in London for the past three years, running a high-profile Symposium with high profile speakers and policymakers alongside the main exhibition.
