• is learner-centred, motivating and fun for everyone involved
• develops learners’ plurilingual repertoires - not only the language of schooling, but foreign languages and children’s home languages
• supports young people’s wellbeing despite social isolation
• gives parents/carers confidence in supporting their children’s learning
