VIVACE Sub-Projects

The VIVACE project is delivered through 'sub-projects', usually in the form of short language learning sessions where the language learning is often combined with other activities, such as quizzes, cooking, dressing-up, singing and dancing.  The Vivace team has worked with a variety of different groups, including the socially marginalised or excluded, with people suffering severe brain injuries, adults with learning difficulties, people with physical disabilities, with mental health problems, with recovering addicts and with groups of people who have never had the experience of language learning because of their socio-economic background or their geographical location. 

The individual partner detail pages give information on the agencies partners have each worked with to provide VIVACE sub-projects.

Full details of the VIVACE sub-projects and projects undertaken in the context of the ALLEGRO project can be found in the VIVACE and ALLEGRO database.
