Introductory workshop to Ladino

15 February at 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

This introductory workshop to Ladino, which is part of the UCL Engagement project ‘London Ladino: Co-creating Judeo-Spanish voices with local Sephardic Jews’ (collaborators: Alejandro Acero Ayuda and Victoria Lisek), aims to reconnect Sephardic Jews living in London with Ladino (Judeo-Spanish), i.e., the language of their ancestors, which currently classified by UNESCO as a “severely endangered language”. Attendees will have the chance to acquire the fundamentals of Ladino (including its history, alphabets, basic interactions in Ladino and current status), thus granting them access to a fundamental part of their ethnic background, culture, and religion, plus the possibility to communicate with many other Sephardim around the world through the internet.
