Hands-Up Project Annual Conference 2022

The Centre for Language Education Research hosted the award-winning ‘Hands-Up Project’ Annual Conference on Sat 21 May 2022. The Hands Up Project is a charitable organisation committed to social justice, global citizenship, and freedom of expression, and upholds the belief that language learning is enhanced through creativity, performance and collaborative interaction.

On the eve of the conference the Queen's Film Theatre hosted a Hands Up Project Film Night showing at two critically acclaimed short films interspersed with short plays from the 2021 HUP Lockdown Theatre competition, featuring young people from Palestine, Argentina and Germany. The evening opened with a live remote performance from Gaza and the Czech Republic.
