What has been your history, your family history with regard to your practices — culture — and the language(s) you speak or spoke in the past? Has your history been celebrated? Supported? Forgotten? Suppressed? Separated from you? I’m inviting you to ponder your heritage so as to celebrate your uniqueness. We all need you to be your unique self and contribute your unique perspective and experiences.

In this podcast, the second of the four in the series, we talk with founders and leaders of community-based heritage language schools, who think and work enthusiastically with students, parents, and teachers in these schools to ensure that students are engaged and involved and recognize the gift of their heritage language as a vital part of their identity, self-worth, and learning and career potential. The panelists have implemented exciting and powerful activities and connections in their schools, and it is an inspiration to hear them share about the power of these experiences for individuals, institutions, and communities.

What is YOUR linguistic and cultural heritage? Community-based heritage language schools exist. If you work in such a school, study there, support it, share about it with others: thank you. If you don’t know about such heritage language schools in your community (I didn’t!), here’s a chance to find out: Joy Peyton shares specific information about such schools in both the podcast and in her biography and resource page. She also shares how you can help identify and connect such schools so that their service, impact, and quality can all be enhanced.
