In the documentary VU Language Stories, six members of the VU community share the languages they speak, the stories behind these languages, and the role of language at VU and in their lives.
Following the screening, we’ll engage in a conversation about what language diversity means for our VU community and the importance of language for an inclusive academic environment.
- What languages do you speak? What’s the story behind them?
- How comfortable do you feel in Dutch or English, the main languages of communication at VU? How can we make sure that we understand one another in an equal and respectful way so that the VU language community remains accessible to everyone?
- And how can we make the most of other languages spoken at VU?
After the discussion, you are warmly invited to enjoy a drink and a good conversation in the language of your choice from 18.00-19.00!
