Y-C.R.E.D. 2023 offered short, pre-recorded On-Demand Content for language learners that facilitates flexible viewing for any class schedule. We will offer FOUR SESSION TRACKS:

LEVEL-UP your language skills
The goal for the “LEVEL-UP” track was to provide students with motivation as well as specific strategies to improve one or more of their language skills in order to reach a Seal of Biliteracy goal, or to level-up from one Global Seal certificate level to another.

LEVERAGE your bilingualism
Sessions in the “LEVERAGE” track provided students with inspiration and insight on how they could leverage their language skills and their Seal of Biliteracy.

LINK to future opportunity
Our “LINK” track was all about the future. Students could learn about ways to use and grow their language skills while gaining experience through study abroad, internships, volunteer and work experiences.

LISTEN & LEARN from global classrooms

Our "LISTEN & LEARN" track was all about target-language input. Participants could listen to students in classrooms around the world as they share their interests and culture in their native language.
