Online event on 26 September
"Teaching language skills at the heart of the European Education Area"
The European Day of Languages on 26 September is a well-established opportunity to raise awareness about language learning and linguistic diversity.
Many language and cultural institutes, associations, universities and schools take part in various events and activities organised throughout the EU.
The main event of the European Commission will be an online conference on 26 September. This year it will focus on EU tools to help language teachers boost their capacity, notably Erasmus + and the European School Education Platform.
It will also celebrate the European Year of Skills as multilingualism is one of eight key competences needed for personal fulfilment, a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, employability, active citizenship and social inclusion.
The online event will connect with some of the European Day of Language events taking place across the European Union (EU) Member States. Young people, teachers and other participants will relate how they feel about languages and how they influence their life.
