NY Bilingual Fair
The full CALEC team was on deck during the 2019 Bilingual Fair in New York, and we loved it! In its 6th edition, the Bilingual Fair organized by FrenchMorning.com provided parents and educators with an opportunity to learn more about bilingual education. Our table was loaded with books, brochures, and goodies. Many visitors stopped by. Our video crew was non-stop interviewing language advocates and even several VIPs, including Councilman Mark Levine and Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, among others. This day culminated with CALEC’s founder, Fabrice Jaumont, receiving the Leader Award, and CALEC’s vice-president, Jane Ross, receiving the Patron’s Award for their work in bilingual education and language advocacy. Mariam Moustafa, who translated our recently-released book, الثورة ثنائية اللغة received the studend award. A great day for CALEC!
