We asked young Europeans to submit their short works about multilingualism to win a place aboard the Cine-Boat, an itinerant filmmaking event travelling across the beautiful archipelago of Turku, Finland.
Our 18 winners attended the Cine-Boat workshop from 3rd - 17th June 2011, during which they travelled by boat, visiting the islands and shooting films about the local forms of multilingualism. The region is home to many Swedish-speaking communities, which have their own distinct cultural identity.
