After two very successful years we are again delighted to offer secondary schools in the South West an exciting opportunity to take part in our creative project -- Bristol French Drama Festival, which will take place on Saturday 14th March 2015 at the University of Bristol.

You can learn to run a French theatre club for your pupils, culminating with a fun performance for all! Pupils will perform a piece prepared in their drama club and share it with other participants, friends and families!

To watch the highlights of the festival last year, please visit our YouTube RiLSouthWest Channel

This is a joint event with a Bristol-based company Theatre VO

Routes staff from several partner HEIs is giving a series of talks to 1st and 2nd year undergraduates during the universities' Induction Week as part of the national 'Inspiring Languages Week'.

The aim is to raise awareness of the Routes into Languages programme in general, to inform university students about various opportunities of getting involved, such as Language Ambassador mentoring scheme in schools and Adopt A Class scheme, and to provide information about opportunities to study or work abroad as part of the university degree offered by different partner universities. Talks are also given to undergraduate students in non-language degrees about foreign language provision and opportunities to pick up a foreign language alongside a huge choice of subjects. Some talks include students' testimonials about their Year Abroad.

Inspiring Languages is promoted jointly by charity the Education and Employer Taskforce, the British Council, the British Academy, Speak to the Future, Routes into Languages and many other organisations. For further information please visit the website.

Routes South West is supporting a Careers Event at Kingsley School in Bideford. Year 9 and 10 students will be offered a series of 'careers with languages' talks delivered by university staff and student ambassadors.
