Who are we?

Liesbeth and Jessica met a few years ago in the Flemish CLIL landscape. Since then, they have spent time together at international CLIL conferences and have worked together on CLIL workshops. 

Their common interest and enthusiasm for CLIL and didactics made them want to work together eagerly on this new international CLIL project.
