FOHLC Europe offers professional development and networking opportunities
to professionals in the field of HL education. The 2024 conference will
take place online on Friday, November 15, and Saturday, November 16.


2024 theme
Rethinking incentives: how to bolster the motivation of students, parents,
teachers, and other stakeholders in heritage language education

Anyone involved in heritage language (HL) education knows that incentives
are important to keep HL programs running successfully. Having motivated
students, parents, teachers, managers, volunteers, and community supporters
is essential for effective and meaningful language and culture education to
be possible. This year’s conference will give you new ideas about how to
encourage your teachers, entice your students, energize parents, mobilize
volunteers, and ideally rally sponsors! What are the compelling reasons to
follow and support HL education, and how can you design your HL program to
be as innovative and attractive as possible? You will leave the conference
not only with new insights, but also with stronger connections with similar
organizations across Europe and the world.


Audience
The conference program includes structured networking opportunities
designed for professionals in the field of HL education: teachers,
coordinators, and volunteers at HL programs as well as for leaders of HL
umbrella associations, coalitions, and networks. Parents, academics, or
policy makers interested in the topic of HL education are also welcome.
