Meeting Description: 

Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning will
organise a Multilingual Early Language Transmission (MELT) expert seminar in
Leeuwarden, on Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 April, 2010.  The project focuses on
four European regions with a regional or minority language: Frisian in the
Netherlands, Breton in France, Welsh in the UK and Swedish in Finland. The MELT
project will do a comparative study on the provisions, approach en available
resources in the different regions. This also means looking at information for
parents on the benefits of multilingual pre-primary education in the own mother
tongue, and the available teaching resources. The study will make
recommendations based on the best examples aiming at the providing parents and
teachers with reliable information for their "informed choice" on bilingual or
multilingual education.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
