Project goals

Through this project, participants will have the opportunity to:

1. Build awareness of the rich history and contemporary diversity of languages and cultures in New Haven
2. Develop symbolic competence in a second or heritage language through translation—a suite of approaches for understanding and expressing linguistic, cultural, and social relations between people whose lives intersect
3. Produce tangible resources to enrich New Haven’s civic life, including multilingual public signs, community maps, and neighborhood tours
