00:00 Parents so far, I can say because of culture, they have not been able to appreciate the importance of foreign languages.
00:07 Maybe I can say because of 844, we realized that in 844 the foreign languages were introduced at high school level.
00:15 But currently with the CBC we hope that this will change now that the foreign languages have been introduced in the primary school level.
00:24 I really appreciate such events because they bring together children to exude confidence.
00:30 For such activities they now bring learning from class to the field where learners now get to exercise what they have been learning in the classroom.
00:39 So they come to make it as practical as possible.
00:42 The impact has been so profound so far.
00:45 Through these performances, these festivals have ignited a passion for language learning and appreciation for diverse cultures.
00:55 And also learners are able to build their confidence and be able to appreciate diverse cultures and become global citizens.
01:06 By learning foreign languages, learners gain insights into diverse cultures and perspectives.
01:14 Which is very crucial for addressing global issues which are at line in the SDGs.
01:20 So this is very vital to introduce to learners at this stage.
01:26 It makes them empowered and become global leaders who are aware of issues that are pressing us.
01:35 We are having 15 schools from Busia, Bungoma, Kakamega, Kisumu, Homabe and Eldoret.
