Issues of inclusion, intercultural understanding, transition and progression were addressed in an effective way and with lively audience participation.

The event took place on 23rd of June at the Victoria Holiday Inn Hotel in Sheffield and was jointly organised by Sheffield Local Authority and the Association for Language Learning South Yorkshire.
