Nordic Language Pilots

Project Manager for the Nordic languages pilots Lis Madsen has developed a training concept which was proven very useful in the training of Nordic school teachers. The courses give directly the participants an insight into the Nordic languages and Nordic culture / literature. At the same time on the courses they work with developing new methods and didactics specific for neighbor languages. The Language Pilots continually work to develop the area and act as ambassadors for education in Nordic languages. Link to the web site in Danish: http://www.sprogpiloter.dk/
