MULTILINGUALISM AND DIVERSITY
The community is made up of a group of experts from leading universities across Europe, bringing interdisciplinary learning to explore key issues of Multilingualism and Diversity. We are building a community of students and academics alike, who are passionate about Multilingualism and want to explore the local relevance of global problems. Our goals are to champion diversity and cross-university collaboration, transform the learning experience and contribute to building a new academic model.
We provide an inspiring and supportive learning environment to help students develop their skills and confidence with innovative pedagogies. Our community aims to bring students from different levels together to give them the chance to collaborate on projects and make global connections. We want to empower students and provide them with the opportunity to be more involved in their own learning experiences. This is why we have launched several pioneering activities such as the possibility for students to design their module in Multilingualism. We have an exciting programme of activities ranging from courses and workshops to a student-led conference, so join us to be part of a dynamic and global community that is at the forefront of research in Multilingualism and Diversity!

EUTOPIA LANGUAGES WEEK (6-10 March 2023)
The inaugural EUTOPIA Languages Week took place from 6 to 10 March 2023. Throughout the week, EUTOPIA students and members participated in over 40 online and in-person activities which covered an exciting range: from academic talks, roundtables and language cafés to film nights, a translation slam, a multilingual games night, a story slam, and many more across the participating institutions (VUB, UL, UPF, UW, CY, TUD, and Ca’ Foscari)! You can view the full programme HERE. We hope that the EUTOPIA Languages Week will become an annual point of reference and festival of ideas celebrating the diversity of languages and cultures of our Alliance. - 2022-2023 PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES
It includes short online courses and a student conference. You can browse the different activities we offer in this booklet. By participating in our programme you can earn a EUTOPIA micro-credential.

On Wednesday 13 July 2022, we ran the first EUTOPIA Multilingualism and Diversity Student Conference, exploring the themes of Identity, Policy, and Representation, as well as Multilingualism in Education and the Media. The conference featured papers by students across our EUTOPIA alliance and a keynote by Nora Michaelis (University of Warwick). You can view the programme here. - STUDENT CONFERENCE ORGANISATION
The conference was organised by students from our learning community, supervised by the Learning Community Assistant, Dr Mélina Delmas. Together, they created a call for papers, selected papers, created the conference programme, advertised the conference, chaired panels, as well as helped run the conference on the day: https://eutopia-university.eu/multilingualism-and-diversity-students-lead-the-way. - SHORT ONLINE COURSES
Students participated in 3-4 weeks of a course related to Multilingualism taught at one of the universities in the alliance. - MODULE DESIGN ACTIVITY
Cross-university teams of students worked on designing their ideal module in Multilingualism. They decided on the topics which should be included and how students would be assessed. They also created a reading list, a module description, and learning outcomes. - STUDENT SEMINAR ON LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPING

Student Testimonies
Sara (UPF) shares her experience of doing a EURSS scholarship with the Multilingualism and Diversity community.What our 2021-2022 students said about the EUTOPIA experience:
"The EUTOPIA course was a pleasant experience - I was able to learn new concepts which can be potential research topics in the future. [...] even though EUTOPIA was not the main reason why I studied in the UK, it has been one of the most memorable experiences I have had there." (Khoa Do, MA TESOL, University of Warwick)
"Lots of fun! I met some great new people and learned skills that have always intimidated me."
"It was nice being part of [this learning community], as well as an amazing opportunity to know people, improve some abilities and learn about something that really interests and concerns us."
"It was definitely an unforgettable journey for me to participate in this EUTOPIA programme. I greatly benefited from all the lectures and the whole research process. Besides, it was very fortunate for me to meet these erudite and helpful professors as well as my considerate and diligent teammates. I will cherish this memory for all time." (Beibei Song, MA in Linguistics and Literary Studies, VUB)
