Foreign Language Introduction Program

Video: FLIP students sing a Hindi song

The Einaudi Center’s Foreign Language Introduction Program (FLIP), formerly known as the Afterschool Language and Culture Program, has introduced thousands of children in Upstate New York to world languages and cultures.

Multilingual volunteers from Cornell and surrounding communities facilitate language and culture lessons for K–12 students to learn about and engage with our increasingly interconnected world.
