CHILDREN'S PROGRAMME ‘COCKEREL CALLS AND CREATIVE CRAFTS’ (FROM 6 PM TO 11 PM, ONGOING)
The Esperanto Museum is all about the fascinating world of language invention. The diversity of languages around the world is matched by the diversity of the animal kingdom. In Austria, for example, the cock crows ‘Kikeriki’, but in England it is ‘cok-a-doodle-do’. Craft a cockerel and think about what language it speaks.
