AWARDED YOUR DULWICH LINGUISTIC COLOURS TIE (ASK YOUR TEACHER TO STAMP)

WELCOME “The limits of my language are the limits of my world.” Ludwig Wittgenstein Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921) It was the Old Alleynian philosopher GE Moore who suggested to the young Wittgenstein, who was to put the analysis of language at the heart of 20th century Western philosophy, that he might echo Spinoza’s Tractatus Theologico-Politicus (1677) in the title of his first published work. One of the most well-known and interrogated statements from Wittgenstein’s remarkably influential work stands as a fitting epigraph for our latest Free Learning enterprise. Dulwich Linguistic is your passport to crossing frontiers into the languages and cultures of countries beyond the English-speaking world. The week will challenge your linguistic limits, your perceptions of how you see yourself in a rapidly shrinking world and heighten your appreciation of communication in all its forms. The week will be devoted to celebrating languages on every level and all five Schools will be transmogrified into a veritable melting pot of events and activities crossing the imaginary divides between languages, science, music, mathematics, academia, business and sport. In one day, where else could you make your protest through the creative medium of screen-printing and be transported to Renaissance Italy via the phonetics of ventriloquism? This programme is a daily guide to the fascinating and diverse range of events on offer throughout the week – whether it be playing your part in the living wall of Dulwich language, enjoying a tour to the Courtauld Gallery, or speed-dating in Ancient Hebrew. This is your opportunity to engage and take your learning beyond the classroom. We hope you enjoy it. Dr JAF Spence, The Master RRS Baylis, Head of Modern Languages “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart.” Attributed to Nelson Mandela

But Dulwich Linguistic Week doesn’t end there: MONDAY 14 NOVEMBER Where would I be without languages? Question time chaired by Huw Edwards: all Year 11 pupils, periods 4-6, George Farha Auditorium. Leading figures from law, journalism and publishing share their experiences of working in global industries. In particular, they pinpoint moments in their careers where languages have given them opportunities to break through. Hosted by the BBC’s Huw Edwards, the short talks will be followed by a Q&A session in which boys can start to map out their own future careers with an understanding of how languages might play a vital, and sometimes unexpected role.

Looking for a real linguistic challenge? Try the… Schatzjagd! Chasse au trésor! búsquedadel Tesoro! caccia al Tesoro! (The Dulwich Linguistic Treasure Hunt!) A multi-lingual treasure hunt runs throughout Dulwich Linguistic week with major prizes for successful teams or individuals in each of the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools. The quickest correct entry in each school wins a prize and all other correct entries will be entered into a draw with a prize in each School. How to play: All the clues lead you to a place in the College grounds. Each is in a foreign language. Working out which language and a translation is the first challenge, finding the right place is the second! The Lower School has its own treasure hunt route and Middle and Upper Schools follow the same route. There are 3 clues to work out each day of the week. The first clue each day is a video clue on MyDulwich. If the number at your third location of the day doesn’t tell you to wait for a video, you’ve gone wrong, so re-trace your steps! To play, follow the clue to the place described and look for a Dulwich Linguistic Treasure Hunt sign with a number on it. That number is the next clue to follow from the 40 listed below. Note down each number you find in the answer boxes in this booklet, then put the full sequence of 15 numbers into the entry form on MyDulwich. The deadline for entries is 5pm on Monday 14th November.
