About us
The competition is organised by CILT, the National Centre for Languages as part of our work to promote the UK’s language capability. The LAFTAs aims to create a bank of video clips for all those working with young people, and to encourage teenagers to value language learning and to continue with languages to a higher level.
The competition links to our work with the Routes into Languages programme, an £8 million initiative funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England and the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), to increase and widen participation in language learning in higher education.
