On September 17-18, the ECML in Graz hosted the first network meeting of the project “Pluriliteracies for global citizenship: Deeper learning in the foreign language classroom”. Twenty participants from 16 countries, including teachers, teacher educators, and university professionals, came together to explore key concepts and collaborative strategies aimed at enhancing global citizenship through pluriliteracies.

The meeting kicked off with a project overview, led by the project team, who introduced the main objectives and concepts of the initiative. Inspiring plenary sessions were delivered by experts Do Coyle and Christina Pylonitis, sparking insightful discussions among attendees. Participants engaged in meaningful dialogue in an open and collaborative atmosphere, reflecting on how the pluriliteracies approach can transform language education.

Central to the discussions was the 4R model, which provided a framework for rethinking language teaching and learning. Special emphasis was placed on the role of multimodality, multi-source reading, and integrating diverse perspectives to better address the realities of today’s classrooms.

The two-day event concluded with a draft list of key messages for educators and the establishment of a growing professional community, setting the stage for continued collaboration and action in advancing the goals of pluriliteracies and deeper learning in language education.
