Tongue Twisters ― Documentary, Greece, 2018 (ENG subtitles)

Mother Tongues is a social enterprise working to promote multilingualism and intercultural dialogue in Ireland.Since our foundation in 2017 we have inspired many schools, libraries and community organisations to embrace multilingualism and act as catalysts for change, showing that Ireland welcomes all linguistic and cultural identities, and inspiring future generations of bilingual and multilingual children.Our goal is to inspire everyone in society to be open to linguistic and cultural diversity and value the benefits that multilingualism brings to individuals, communities and to our society as a whole. Children can reach their full potential by developing English alongside Irish and their family language, but to do so they need parents who are motivated to keep up their mother tongue, teachers who are positive about every language and a society that welcomes linguistic diversity in all its forms.This is why the projects we develop at Mother Tongues focus on children, by offering them opportunities to develop their language skills, parents, giving them the confidence to transmit their language to their children and teachers, enhancing their awareness of linguistically responsive practice. We work all over Ireland and collaborate with many organisations in the delivery of our programmes.

Mother Tongues

A documentary from the Dublin Greek Film Festival by Simos Korexenidis

<p>What is a tongue twister? Why do they exist in language? What&#x27;s their purpose? What connects some words so thrillingly with laughter? Can documentation about language be a contemporary perception of euphoria? This is a  funny-language-educational-fairly-cheesy-tickling documentary by Simos Korexenidis.</p><p>Dublin Greek Film Festival was established in 2014, and it is run by voluntary members. Since then, the Festival has presented numerous features, documentaries, short films, and special events (concerts, dance workshops, photo-exhibitions, etc.) in the top cultural venues of Ireland&#x27;s capital. The Festival showcases the latest films by both internationally established directors and emerging filmmakers, who produce many of the most dynamic, innovative and provocative films in the world. The aim of the Festival is to promote Greek cinema and culture and highlight the similarities between Ireland and Greece. In the past, the Dublin Greek Film Festival team organised events for Dublin City Council&#x27;s Social Inclusion Week and Cruinniú na nÓg.
