Children in kindergartens across Dresden in Germany will be required to listen to Arabic songs and fairy tales, thanks to a program supported by the "Erzählraum" association, which has received funding from the German government.
“We don't give language classes, but we want to promote the multilingualism of the Upper Lusatia-Lower Silesia cultural area. These include, among others, the German, Sorbian, Polish, Czech, Russian, English, Syrian-Arabic and many other languages," wrote the association in a statement.
According to Das Bild, the German government in Saxony is funding the project this year with €17,000, with the person responsible for the project receiving another €6,000 from a cultural association known as Kulturraum Oberlausitz-Niederlesien.
