Akelius Languages Online GmbH Details
The Akelius Languages Online GmbH develops a language platform mainly focused on children's education.The platform is a cooperation between the Akelius Foundation and UNICEF, produced through us as a subsidiary.In 2015during the European migrant crisis,Roger Akelius wanted to provide fast and unbureaucratic help for the more than 163,000 immigrants coming to Sweden.The idea was to help refugees learn the local language when settling in their new country.Not being able to communicate through a foreign language is a huge barrier to social and academic inclusion for learners. In the context of a refugee and migrant crisis,without language skills to interact outside the home,migrants and refugees struggle to integrate.In order to help solve this problem,we started an official partnership with UNICEF in 2018 to develop a blended learning solution.Anyone can use it to learn a new language,regardless of language skills or languages spoken.Our portfolio has grown over the last three years.We now offer the language course in English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.So far, the language course has been used in pilot projects in Greece, Lebanon, Mauretania and since end of 2020 in Bosnia.The course is available on computers, tablets,and smartphones,and is free for everyone.
