European Day of Languages

The European Day of Languages is 26 September, as proclaimed by the Council of Europe on 6 December 2001.

The objectives of the European Day of Languages are:

• Alerting the public to the importance of language learning and diversifying the range of languages learnt in order to increase plurilingualism and intercultural understanding;
• Promoting the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe, which must be preserved and fostered;
• Encouraging lifelong language learning in and out of school, whether for study purposes, for professional needs, for purposes of mobility or for pleasure and exchanges.

There are over 6000 languages spoken in the world. And behind each and every one of them lies a rich and diverse culture. That’s what the European Day of Languages (EDL) aims to celebrate - by showing people across Europe how important languages are, and what fun can be had learning them.

Take a look at the TV spot to celebrate this day:
