The 1000 square foot 2008 saw the launch of Concordia Language Villages 15th language – Mar building sleeps twelve villagers and, like the other building designs at the Swedish site, refl ects the style of Swedish e Floresta – the Portuguese Language Village. The Village opened with 30 Viking buildings. Designed by St. Paul architect Kerrik villagers and six staff in two two-week sessions at the Callaway site north Wessel, Visby will accommodate the growing demands of Detroit Lakes in Minnesota. Using the same immersion strategies, staff for housing for Sjölunden during the summer and provide training, and curriculum design as the other summer villages, Mar e Floresta’s additional space for programs in the academic year. Amy success has been the result of over two years of planning and fundraising Rutten, construction and special projects coordinator, by a steering committee of twenty-two Portuguese scholars and language considers Visby a new direction in construction for education professionals gathered from across the US and Lusophone world. Concordia Language Villages because the architect “took The committee’s efforts and fi nancial support for realia, scholarships, traditional Swedish architectural vocabulary and updated advanced marketing, and curriculum development have been funded by a it through modern materials.” The dedication ceremony four year $300,000 gift from the Fundação Luso-Americana (Luso-American featured a dance performance by the Sjölunden villagers Foundation), located In Lisbon, Portugal. and formal recognition of the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation’s generous support of the project. Steering committee co-chair and Summer Programs director Patricia Thornton cited the rich historical and cultural signifi cance of Portugal, the emerging economic importance of Brazil, and the number of Portugese- speaking countries around the world as the primary reasons why Concordia Language Villages selected Portuguese as its 15th language. “Portuguese is a multi-continental language with a rich history and a bright social and economic future that provides exciting learning and growth opportunities for our villagers.“ Thornton adds that, while enrollment may be lower than expected in the initial years, she expects Portuguese to become a more visible and strategic language in the U.S. in the near future. While the names of the Villages typically translate into some combination of “lake” and “woods,” Mar e Floresta translates as “sea” and “forest” in a slight twist on the naming conventions. This subtle difference represents the strong sea-faring traditions of Portugal, Brazil, and many other Lusophone countries. Kirsten Salome Addison, who has also worked as a Spanish and French dean in her twenty-one years on staff with the Language Villages, was selected as the fi rst dean of Mar e Floresta. Addison led a staff of fi ve, featuring two Americans and three Brazilians, on a journey around the Portuguese-speaking world. From Cape Verde to Lisbon to São Paul, the villagers experienced the Lusophone world with activities, songs, games, and food. "At Mar e Floresta, we recognize and celebrate the distinctive cultures of the Portuguese -speaking world daily. During a two-week stay, our villagers will experience food from around the Lusophone world including Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Timor Leste and even Goa. Our language curriculum explores a different Portuguese-speaking country each day." Mar e Floresta will continue to operate at the Callaway site for the foreseeable future and plans to begin offering high school credit in 2010.

Mar e Floresta – the Portuguese Language Village – opened with 30 villagers and six staff in two two-week sessions at the Callaway site. Visby - Sjölunden's newest residence for villagers - was dedicated on August 8, 2008.

Three Concordia Language Villages staff were honored for 25 years of dedication and service to the Villages. Scott Marius Smedburg has worked at Skovsøen, the Danish Language Village, for 25 years in a variety of roles including dean and biking program coordinator. A family event in his honor began with a game of “family” soccer, an activity invented by Marius so that everyone, regardless of age or physical condition, could play along. His generosity and spirit of inclusion are two of the character traits that make him so beloved by villagers and families alike. Skovsøen staff and villagers presented Marius with three exquisitely carved bike racks in honor of his dedication to the biking program.

Denise Denise Phillippe has worked as a French staff member and dean and more recently as an associate director in the Summer Programs. Denise organizes the orientations for summer staff and is a tireless advocate for staff development and recruitment. At the celebration marking her 25 years of service, Concordia Language Villages inaugurated the Denise Phillippe Staff Development Endowed Fund to support professional development opportunities for Language Villages staff.

Alex Loehrer, former Concordia Language Villages assistant director for public relations and Lac du Bois staff member, studied in Tours and now serves as a member of the Lac du Bois advisory committee charged with mapping a strategy toward the construction of Place Plumereau. “In this particular instance we saw a remarkable show of support from a regional government with 3,000 civil servants and over 350,000 residents,” commented Loehrer. He went on to note that it is “fairly unusual to have a city like Tours make a symbol of a summer camp located In the U.S. a permanent element of the city.”

Eau Claire, Wis. Potomac, Md. In our almost 50-year history, Concordia Language Villages has grown and changed to meet the challenges of Georg & Reidun Gauger Keith Johanneson David & Audrey Olsen new generations, technologies, educational strategies and market interests. Our logo has remained very similar Mound, Minn. Bemidji, Minn. Lake Elmo, Minn. for almost thirty years and, in the interest of a more concerted, blended identity with Concordia College, we have Clinton Gilliland & Mary Turner Gilliland Margaret Cuomo Maier Jon & Sophie Pederson adopted a new logo and wordmark. The new logo speaks to the ideal of “embracing” global community—with Menlo Park, Calif. Lattingtown, N.Y. Spicer, Minn. white bands or “arms” that span the globe—and reflects the affirmation of diversity, unity, justice and other key Alfred Harrison & Ingrid Lenz Harrison Vivian Mason Steven Pollei & Solveig Storvick Pollei values at the heart of the CLV mission.
