*** Lullabies launch Event - Antalya Link2 ***
Friday 26th and Saturday 27th September

"Languages from the Cradle" is a European Union funded project to collect the lullabies of Europe..

Lullabies in the original European languages, with their translations and background will be available here for families, schools and children to use.

Lullabies in multiple languages are a perfect way to introduce new languages into a family setting. Every European country has its own culture of lullabies but this project will allow you to cross the cultural divide and sing and play other wonderful lullabies in your homes.

Very young children, who hear these songs, will remember them later when starting to learn foreign languages. Indeed, research shows that lullabies do much more than lulling a baby to sleep. They provide opportunities for children’s growth and development as well as promoting a loving relationship between parent and child .

You can get involved and contribute to this project . Please note every contributor to the project will receive a free copy of the final products of the project (subject to limited availability).Link2 You can also add your own lullabies in any language on the projects Wiki space Link2
