Multilingual landscapes by Frederik Verbeke https://padlet.com/verbeke_fred/multilingual_landscapes In advance of the ENLIGHT BIP "Connecting Cultures" online session on 12 April, we want you to take pictures of one or more examples of multilingual landscapes in the area where you live. “Multilingual landscapes” can be defined in different ways and you are open to interpret the term in your own personal and local way. Examples include (but are not limited to) signs/artworks/monuments in different languages; public spaces; commercial spaces; artifacts that are associated with different languages, areas frequented by multilingual people etc. en-us 2020-04-11 11:11:26 UTC 2024-04-12 11:07:11 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/verbeke_fred/multilingual_landscapes/wish/2952461877 A Polish convenience store in Antwerp, with both Polish and Dutch writing.
