Ultimately, our role as teachers is to ensure that everyone involved in the PYPx is provided the opportunity to be part of the process in their mother tongue (cooperation). One way of doing this is to provide the Exhibition Guidelines in various languages. Students, parents, mentors, and everyone else involved in the process can then have a better understanding of their roles in the PYPx.

The problem exists within the mindset and preconceived notions that teachers have about the role of language in the exhibition. If we can change our mindset about language and its role in the PYPx (empathy), then we can better support our students in the process. Students should have the freedom and confidence to go through the inquiry process in their mother tongue language.
