We will all have different memories and feelings about 2020 and the moment when coronavirus became our daily reality…….  

This session will explore a fascinating creative writing project that was born out of the pandemic. Come and find out about the School of Languages and Applied Linguistics’ published work ‘A Multilingual Decameron: Stories of a different world’ that features a range of stories written by students taking courses in the languages taught at the Open University, UK. At a time where personal, academic and professional lives were being disrupted by the international health crisis, the aim was to bring these students together by drawing on the wealth of multilingual and multicultural resources that are key assets of our diverse learning community!
