COST ACTION IS1406 Enhancing children's oral language skills across Europe and beyond - a collaboration focusing on interventions for children with difficulties learning their first languagehas now migrated to ECHO https://research.ncl.ac.uk/echo/.

The COST ACTION IS1406 came to an end in April 2019 but has continued to fund dissemination activities until April 2020. Alongside funding open access peer reviewed publications, these activities have included some films that we made about the COST ACTION and what it has achieved over the last few years. These films were started in April 2019 at our final meeting in Sofia with help from Maria Vassileva from Art Novo, Bulgaria and have been edited together by Vikas Kapil from docYOUmentary Ltd, Newcastle docyoumentary.co.uk in Newcastle in the UK with considerable input from ACTION members, Carol-Anne Murphy, Elin Thordardottir and James Law. We have pieced together four short films (now on YouTube and the ECHO website). They cover the aims of the ACTION, the main outputs from the ACTION, ACTION members experiences of networking at all our different meetings and finally a short overview of the ACTION's contribution to the development of the European tradition related to the study of children with Developmental Language Disorders. You can see the films in the following link https://research.ncl.ac.uk/echo/outputs/films/. Please let us know what you think about the films and feel free to share them with colleagues and students in your different contexts. We think that they summarise well the work of the Action and will help contribute to the development of subsequent networks in this field

And, of course, we should add that the work of the ACTION continues in many of the projects referenced in the films and we will continue to report on them on the ECHO website. And there will be lots of new initiatives in the future in all the different countries that have been involved in the network and we would welcome the opportunity to share them with our members in this site using our Twitter feed and our ECHOBLOG. If you have anything that you would like to share please contact Nikki Hawley. And if you have colleagues who would like to join get them to contact us.
