IN-NELL was founded to promote opportunities for all children to develop a high level of competence in at least one language and culture in addition to their own and to support the efforts of all individuals, institutions, and organizations

involved in early language education.

 

Our team is made up entirely of volunteers.

 

That is why we are especially happy to find new volunteers who share our commitment to help educators to become better in the noble profession of teaching. Do you want to support us by helping with our work? Then do not hesitate to contact us. A helping hand is always greatly appreciated!
