Languages Unlimited has a partnership with the municipal library in Torres Vedras. We started this partnership in 2014 and it involves us offering a story-telling session for children of various ages on a Saturday afternoon every few months. It is free and it always involves an activity. The kids who do show up for it always seem to enjoy both the book(s) and the activities.

Personally, this has bothered me despite the fact that I should be quite used to it. The reality is this type of public response (or lack thereof) is quite consistent with some of the projects (always at a very low cost) that Languages Unlimited tried to launch over the years in our former A-Dos-Cunhados location. Cultural and educational events are far too under-attended in this area of the country. (...)
