Ich Bin Expat Fair
On November 2nd, 2019 the CALEC Team participated in the 3rd “ICH BIN EXPAT FAIR”. This event gathered more than 40 exhibitors who presented their services and products to German-speaking expats and their families. Among the exhibitors there were German schools, Kindergartens, publishers of kids’ books, cosmetology, healthy food and many more. It was great to see that the German speaking community of New York is highly interested in preserving their heritage and involving their kids in it. During the event visitors were offered to attend experts’ talks, workshops and kids programs.
At this event CALEC presented its’ books and introduced the interested visitors with Center’s activities and goals. The books focused on bilingualism and multiculturalism, particularly the “Die Bilinguale Revolution” generated a genuine interest among parents planning to choose the bilingual education for their children. The team members were able to share CALEC’s experience in supporting multilingual communities and assisting to establish bilingual programs.
