The event will be the public inauguration of the PolskaNorski project (funded by Norway Funds (via National Science Center in Poland, GRIEG programme), which goal is to investigate the development of language skills and world knowledge in Polish-Norwegian multilingual children and their monolingual peers in Poland and Norway.
