IFI@Schools
If you can’t make it to a cinema during
#ThinkLanguages Week, you can stream films
directly into the classroom. Lots of schools have availed
of IFI@Schools, which brings top Irish and international
films to students through a unique streaming platform.
‘How to’ Video Series
To support teachers in planning and delivering
activities during #ThinkLanguages Week, the IFI
will provide a series of short video guides on using
IFI@Schools. These practical resources will cover
accessing the platform, locating films and study
materials, and making use of films available through
the #ThinkLanguages Week programme. For more
