European Day of Languages at GIBS

On September 26th, the GIBS school community celebrated the European Day of Languages with several events.

Year 8 students taught Year 1 students English through fun games and activities they had prepared themselves.  Year 2 students got to experience the four other foreign languages taught at GIBS, namely French, Latin, Russian and Spanish through mini-workshops with the Year 7 students of said languages.

In the long break, the first ever GIBS language café took place in which students of different mother tongues taught a few words of their languages to other students. Over 10 different languages were presented, and students learnt a few new words in languages of countries close by, like Slovenian and Hungarian, as well as far away, such as Chinese and Telugu.

Thank you to all the participants!
