Etherow Language Network, alongside Kinder and Lakes Language Networks, is getting ready to take part in Language Fest North West, the region’s celebration of language learning.

Language Fest North West brings together schools, universities and partner organisations to inspire the next generation of linguists and raise the profile of languages education across the region.

Taking place throughout February 2026, the festival will feature a varied programme of events for both teachers and students, including webinars, competitions and two flagship in‑person events – one for students and one for teachers.

There are still a small number of places available at the in‑person teacher event, which will be held at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday 5th February 2026, from 2pm to 5pm. Further information, including details on how to register, can be found here: Language Fest North West 2026 Teacher Event
