Bilingualism Matters at UCR was established in 2017 with the goal of bridging research on bilingualism to the experience of learning and using two languages in the community. Although the positive consequences of speaking more than one language hold the promise to change attitudes towards child rearing, educational policy, immigration, and healthy aging, there is still mythology about bilingualism in the general public. In this workshop we illustrate our efforts towards outreach and community engagement.
