📅 **How long have they been with us?**
Czech School Aberdeen has been part of our community centre for around **9 months**, bringing families together through language, culture, and shared traditions ✨

🎯 **What happens during a typical session?**
Every three weeks on a Saturday morning, children aged **4–12 years old** come together to learn more about Czech culture and traditions while developing their Czech language skills in a fun and supportive environment 😊

👥 **Who is the group for?**
The group is mainly for children who have at least one parent from Czechia and want to stay connected to their language and heritage—but anyone interested in learning more about Czech and Slovak culture is welcome to get involved in their wider events and activities 🇨🇿🇸🇰

🌍 **What makes this group special?**
Czech School Aberdeen is all about celebrating multilingualism, culture, and identity while creating a welcoming community for families living away from home 💙

💡 **Why families love this group:**
Children build confidence in speaking Czech, learn about traditions and culture, and make friendships with other families sharing similar experiences. It’s also a fantastic way for children to stay connected to their roots while growing up in Scotland ✨

💬 **Favourite part of the group?**
“Celebrating multilingualism and promoting Czech/Slovak culture.” ❤️

🏆 **A proud achievement:**
The group now has **20 children attending**, all growing in confidence and celebrating progress in their Czech language skills every time they meet 👏✨

📢 **Upcoming Event:**
🌲 On **20th June at 10am**, the group will be meeting at **Back o’ Bennachie car park** for hill walking, roasting sausages on a bonfire, and enjoying traditional games together 🔥🌭

💬 **Thinking of joining?**
Whether you already speak Czech, want your children to stay connected to their heritage, or are simply curious to learn more about Czech and Slovak culture, you’ll be warmly welcomed 💙
