The many parts of the Routes into Languages North West Consortiumwere brought together in October. Held in the lavish setting of Manchester University's Ashburne Hall, the Away Day was a chance for those involved with the project, as well as representatives from local mainstream and supplementary schools and partner projects, to discuss the next stage of the project and the achievements so far.
Everyone attended three workshops, each chaired by members of the Steering Group and each addressing a different aspect of the project. Ideas and thoughts were collected and then presented to the whole group in a feedback session at the end of the day.
The day was a great success and allowed the different divisions of the North West Consortium to meet and mingle with each other, lending a greater sense of community to the venture. The many ideas suggested should help the North West Consortium expand its aims and keep us busy for the months to come.
