\"CPBenFicheadEun\"<\/a>Um pequeno document\u00e1rio em Portugu\u00eas sobre um encontro do Parlamento de Crian\u00e7as de Uist e da Barra<\/em><\/p>\n

At Island Voices we welcome participation and contributions from speakers, learners, and researchers of any age and stage in multiple languages from all over the globe!<\/p>\n

Marina Yazbek Dias Peres is a student in the\u00a0Research Program<\/a> at Princeton High School<\/a>, New Jersey, in the USA. In this program, each student learns to research, and conducts their own project over the course of three years. Marina’s research project is focused on “uncovering the motivation behind the preservation of dying\/endangered languages, and analyzing the causation behind the lack of their use”.<\/p>\n

Marina is bilingual in English and Portuguese, and is also studying French and Mandarin in school. During discussion of her research topic with Gordon Wells she kindly offered to add Portuguese to the Island Voices list of “Other Tongues<\/a>“, choosing the Children’s Parliament in Benbecula film in Series 2 Generations<\/a>. We were happy to accept! Perhaps her example will inspire others like her to take an interest and think about participating too?<\/p>\n
