Event: Festival of Words
Festival of Words - Special Seminar Series
Session 2007-2008

Organised by CRCEES and the Slavonic Studies Section of the School of Modern Languages and Cultures

CRCEES and the Slavonic Studies Section of the School of Modern Languages and Cultures (SMLC) have joined forces to present a special series of seminars, cultural events, literary readings and film both to celebrate and to advertise the wealth of languages and cultures now taught in collaboration by them and also to prepare for the major Winter Festival which they will be organising from November 2008 to February 2009.

Throughout this current session there will be regular events to display the diversity and richness of the languages now available at Glasgow University for both students and members of the non-academic community - from Lithuanian to Slovene, from Uzbek to Hungarian.

There will be an Open Night on December 10th 2007 when guests will be invited to a special event to mark the achievements of CRCEES at the end of this highly successful year.

Programme October-December '07:
