Creativity in language learning (CiLL) was a Leonardo da Vinci partnership project (2010 – 2012) funded through the LLP (Lifelong Learning Programme ) budget. Five partner institutions from - Germany (Kolping-Bildungswerk Württemberg e.V.), Italy (Europass Centro Studi Europeo), Poland (English Unlimited), Lithuania (Kolpingo kolegija), and Finland (Etelä-Pohjanmaan opisto) set out on a two year journey in search of creative ideas for the classroom. “The journey” included workshops devoted to storytelling, drama and filmmaking, and periods of testing these ideas in practice, collecting feedback and writing a handbook for teachers. We are happy to share the handbook with you and hope that you’ll find it useful and inspiring in your work.
