About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Are you ready for an unforgettable journey to discover the land of wonders? Join Kata for the Magical Storytelling Family Workshops!

Let your imagination be inspired by fascinating adventures. We will visit enchanted places, meet wonderful creatures and make new friends along this journey.
After the storytelling, we'll have some art materials ready for you to let your imagination run wild and create your own world of wonder!

Each session is different but connected to an overall theme. Come to as many workshops as you like!

Mother Tongues’ Language Explorer workshops provide a unique creative experience for parents and their children based on storytelling, play, visual arts and music. While the workshops will be guided in English, we encourage families to embrace their home languages. This fosters meaningful connections between parents and children, creating a truly inclusive environment. Meet and connect with other like-minded families and share your language journey!

PLEASE NOTE:

Workshops are free of charge, but booking is required as there is limited capacity. When you reserve a child ticket, the accompanying adult is automatically included. If you can’t make the event, please email us at hanna@mothertongues.ie so some other family can benefit from attending the workshop.

Please remember that children must be under the supervision of an accompanying adult throughout the workshops.

Activities have been specifically designed for children aged 3 to 6. However, if you have an older child who wishes to participate, they are more than welcome (please book a place for them too). For children younger than 2.5 years, the activities might be too complex, but they are also welcome to accompany their older siblings. No need to reserve a spot for younger accompanying children.

This workshop series is funded by the Dublin City Council and in partnership with Hill Street Family Resource Centre.

Mother Tongues is a social enterprise working to promote multilingualism and intercultural dialogue in Ireland.

Since our foundation in 2017 we have inspired many schools, libraries and community organisations to embrace multilingualism and act as catalysts for change, showing that Ireland welcomes all linguistic and cultural identities, and inspiring future generations of bilingual and multilingual children.

Our goal is to inspire everyone in society to be open to linguistic and cultural diversity and value the benefits that multilingualism brings to individuals, communities and to our society as a whole. Children can reach their full potential by developing English alongside Irish and their family language, but to do so they need parents who are motivated to keep up their mother tongue, teachers who are positive about every language and a society that welcomes linguistic diversity in all its forms.

This is why the projects we develop at Mother Tongues focus on children, by offering them opportunities to develop their language skills, parents, giving them the confidence to transmit their language to their children and teachers, enhancing their awareness of linguistically responsive practice. We work all over Ireland and collaborate with many organisations in the delivery of our programmes.
