You could start the session by using the resources from the 'observe and reflect' section to get participants discussing their thoughts and feelings about the children's self-portraits.

Questions for discussion:

• What do you think about these drawings and the ways the children describe their pluri-lingual worlds?

• What do these children think and feel about their languages?

Then, using this as inspiration, invite participants to create their own self-portrait, perhaps using the example and the blank template below.

Explain that they can use colours and body parts to express their multilingual self, encouraging them to provide annotations to explain their ideas further.

Once parents have created their portraits, you could also ask them to share their portraits with the group by taking a picture of them and posting them in a forum.
