Belgium and the Caribbean Netherlands are united by a fellow cause: at the centre and periphery of the EU, in Brussels and on the island of St Eustatius, children are learning Dutch as a Foreign Language (NVT). At the moment, learning resources for young NVT learners are scarce and children of colour are underrepresented. Additionally, teachers want to stimulate reading and find the right didactic approach. We aim to create NVT reading resources and develop an accompanying didactic approach.
