Meeting Description:

The vision of the LDESW series is to promote research and the sharing of both
local and international expertise and collaboration on all aspects of language
diversity in educational settings, with specific attention to sign language.

The LDESW series stems from a joint project between the University of Namur
(Belgium) and the University of the Free State (South Africa) between 2017 and
2018. The project aimed to advance the study of the practical management of
language policy and planning processes in education through two pilot
projects. The first was a project on promoting Belgian francophone sign
language in a bilingual school in Namur and the second was a project on the
promotion of language diversity at the University of the Free State. In 2018,
the first LDESW was held in Clarens, Free State, where researchers received
constructive feedback from the actors involved in the language programs in
Namur and Bloemfontein. Since the second Workshop in 2020, the focus has
shifted specifically to sign languages in educational settings.
