| InItaliano strives to keep parents informed about their options in their children’s education. Founded by Stefania Puxeddu, Benedetta Scardovi, and Francesco Fadda here is how InItaliano presented this event: “As we all know, in this country, parental involvement, along with the support of the DOE key players, is what makes the difference in this Bilingual Revolution. Together we can make informed decisions and make a change!” All net proceeds for “La Rivoluzione bilingue” were donated to InItaliano in support of Italian dual-language education in New York. The book talk was introduced by Paolo Barlera, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute, followed by Francesco Genuardi, Consul General of Italy who reminded us of his country’s engagement for multilingualism and for the advancement of the Italian language in the United States. Education Director Annavaleria Guazzieri interviewed author Fabrice Jaumont and moderated the discussion. It was great to launch the Italian translation in such grand style with the author, the book’s cover artist, Raymond Verdaguer, and the book’s Italian translator Stefania Puxeddu all reunited for this event. |
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!
On Friday September 27, the CALEC team visited the Goethe Institut in New York to celebrate multilingualism by participating in the 2019 European Day of Languages. The day was marked by community building, knowledge sharing, and connecting with a variety of cultural organizations, including Alliance Francaise, China Institute, Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Polish Cultural Institute, and Instituto Cervantes.
CALEC was present at the event as a publishing resource, showcasing some of TBR Books’ titles including The Bilingual Revolution and The Gift of Languages. Participants were thrilled to find TBR Books titles available in many of the languages represented at the event, including Polish, Italian, German, and French. Event goers received a code to download a free e-book from the TBR Books site in order to better spread the word about CALEC’s mission and the bilingual revolution. Through this service, CALEC demonstrated its commitment to providing resources to educators and communities interested in bilingual education.
Participants left the Goethe Institut on Friday armed with new connections and renewed enthusiasm for a shared goal: making multilingualism a reality throughout schools within the US and abroad. The CALEC team was happy to engage with the bilingual education community to affirm CALEC’s advocacy for this vital mission. By fostering relationships within the educational community, CALEC will strengthen bilingual education networks and improve its offerings of resources to parents, teachers, and administrators. CALEC thanks the Goethe Institut and participants in the European Day of Languages for their role in a successful celebration of multilingualism.

Убежденные в том, что двуязычное образование – это общественное благо, которое должно быть доступно всем ученикам, эти первопроходцы показывают на собственном примере, как такие программы меняют общество, школы и даже страну к лучшему. Книга также служит инструкцией, помогающей основать билингвальную программу, и тем самым начать собственную революцию.
