Dear Lin Grist Some thoughts on your OST with young Bengalis:
1. Ask planning team what language thery would prefer to be used in the event. If it is not English, you will need an interpreter. If you prune the English content, you should get down to 15 to 20 minutes a day. 2. Ask the planning team what written language they would prefer in the group sessions. 3. Ask the planning group what language they would prefer to use in the closing ceremony. If everyone is bilingual, there is another option to use what ever form of expression each participant wants. Good luck! Cheers Kerry Napuk Open Futures Edinburgh www.openfutures.com
