The conference program will explore a wide range of topics, including: Cutting-edge research in language education through heritage

Effective teaching methods and integrative approaches
Classroom solutions and hands-on strategies
Case studies from cultural institutions working with adult learners
Challenges and insights from interdisciplinary collaboration

The belief that cultural heritage is a powerful gateway to language learning is at the heart of the PILLOT Project. By embedding language instruction within local culture, traditions, and shared histories, we foster not just linguistic competence but also social inclusion, intercultural understanding, and community engagement.

We look forward to welcoming you and having intriguing discussions together in Warsaw!
