The Real Business Challenge (RBC) is an exciting enterprise competition for students who will be in Years 9 an 10, over the 2014/2015 academic year.

The RBC is free and, linked to the curriculum, it challenges students to tackle a business task set by Coca-Cola Enterprises. It is work-related learning at its most engaging and an opportunity for a whole year group to develop enterprise skills that will give them a competitive edge in today's job market.

 

Routes into Languages East is delighted to be teaming up with Coca Cola for this exciting pilot project, giving students the opportunity to participate in authentic tasks as part of a cross-curricular project, combining languages and business

Mother Tongue Other Tongue  

We’re extending this tried and tested multilingual poetry competition that celebrates cultural diversity and the many languages currently spoken in secondary schools from Routes into Languages North West to Routes into Languages East.

 

THE ROUTES EAST COMPETITION

Free and open to: 11-18 year olds (Years 7-13)

Age categories are as follows:

*    KS3 (Secondary years 7,8,9)

*    KS4 (Secondary years 10,11)

*    KS5 (Secondary years 12,13)

Each school should select the 3 best entries per year group.

Deadline: Friday 19th July 2013

Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and winning entries will feature in an anthology. Winners will be invited to the celebration event.·      

Routes into Languages East invites young writers to send in their poetry and verse for this multi-lingual poetry competition.  There are two categories:

  • Mother Tongue – pupils whose first language is not English are encouraged to submit a poem or song in their first language.  It can be an original piece, or a ‘remembered’ piece.  It can be written in any language.  The entry will be judged on a short paragraph (written in English) that explains the piece and its significance to the pupil. 
  • Other Tongue – pupils learning another language are encouraged to get creative with this language and submit an original poem for the competition. 

THE RULES

Mother Tongue / Other Tongue is open to all mainstream and supplementary secondary schools in the North West and pupils can enter as individuals or groups of any size.

Mother tongue:

This can be an original, creative piece, or a poem or song that is ‘remembered’ – i.e. something in your first language that you recall, or that has been told to you by a relative. This can be in any language but English and pieces must also include a short explanation of the inspiration behind the piece, where it comes from, or why it is important to the person submitting it. (No more than half a page)

Other tongue entries must be original poem and written in a language that is not the first language spoken by the person writing it.  This can be any language, including English (if it is not the writer’s first language)

All entries must be accompanied by a Mother Tongue Other Tongue 2013 Entry Cover Sheet (see below).
