The ENACT Web App Prizes will be awarded to the people who upload the best cultural activities for language learning using the ENACT ‘CREATE’ author software during the period 15 January to 31 May 2024. We aim to increase the number of languages and cultures on the ENACT app by rewarding materials in languages and cultures which we do not already have.

At ENACT, we pride ourselves on creating exciting new ways to learn languages. In 2023, with support from the The Confucius Institute at Newcastle University, we have collated a package of Chinese cultural activities for you to try. You can learn the Chinese words for ‘banana’ and ‘orange’, whilst making Beijing Ice Candy, or the words for ‘fire’ and ‘forest’, whilst trying calligraphy. Not only will you learn new words and discover a new culture, you will have fun whilst doing it!

New activities, presentations, and more!
Just before the year ends, we would like to share some of our new activities, presentations and publications:

We are very happy to be part of the World Teachers' Day event organised by the British Council on 1 October 2022.
It was a brilliant organisation with many thought-provoking, motivating and inspiring talks.

We had an amazing response to our ENACT prize competition and it was certainly tough to decide the winners!

Well done to Irene Calderer who wins GOLD PRIZE of £200 for her Punjabi Dance activity.
Matilda Atkinson wins a silver prize and NEST prize of £100 for her Traditional Roast Dinner activity, while Simin Ren wins a silver prize of £100 for her activity called Cooking a Chinese recipe - Eggplant Stir Fry.

Don't forget to check out these activities on the web app and comment with a photo or video!

Our partners in Barcelona organised a multiplier event on 15 June 2022 at Sala de Graus, Faculty of Education Autonomous University of Barcelona.
Please see the programme below and a brief outcomes report attached.
