About the PLH Workshop
The two base concepts of our curricular proposal for the Portuguese as Heritage Language (PLH) Workshop are the Portuguese Language and the Brazilian culture, the two most precious values that Brazilian families that live abroad can pass on to their children. Mastering the mother tongue assists with the family communication and relationship as well as expands the possibilities in professional fields, while building connections between Brazil and Japan.
The lack of proficiency in Portuguese may lead to a lack of self-confidence in these children, resulting in mental instabilities and affecting their relationship with their parents.
Therefore, ABC Japan created the PLH Workshop to build an environment where children connected with Brazilian culture can think about their own roots and identity, learning more about Brazil and meeting other children in a similar context.
Many of those children connected to foreign countries feel bad about their origins and roots due to the great cultural and linguistic barriers, while they lack positive experiences and opportunities to meet more of their own countries.
