”Sharing part of one’s life and story is motivating. I feel that the people I work with gain confidence: they dare more and are less afraid of making mistakes. ”
Amandine Sar, a French-as-a-foreign-language and literacy teacher at La Croisée des Langues, supports her learners in creating a collective book of life stories. Here, writing becomes a way to take one’s place, make one’s story heard, and value mother tongues through audio recordings accessible via QR codes. Her project entitles ‟Écrire et créer en famille” (Writing and Creating as a Family) will take the form of a book that will be presented at the partner library and shared with local associations: a meaningful way to turn individual journeys into a visible, collective work that builds confidence.
