2026 TWLTA Workshop Session 2: Eurovision in Tennessee
Presenters: Ryan Linger, Farragut High School and Katie Wimer, Carter High School
Date: Friday, November 6, 2026 1:00-3:45 pm (workshop session 2)
Description: In this session, we will discuss Eurovision in TN for 2027. We'll begin by introducing the concept of Eurovision and demonstrate its effectiveness as a both a cultural and linguistic experience. We will view highlights from Eurovision 2026, including “behind the scenes” from two schools’ live shows, and we will share testimonials from some of our participants in 2026, speaking on their own experiences with the project. We will give participants a “peek under the hood” in how we create materials for Eurovision – including basic ideas for creation in both Canva and movie editing software. We also wish to have a brief brainstorming session to get input from interested teachers, so that we can adapt and develop the Eurovision competition to meet the needs of as many colleagues as possible.
