EDL is an initiative of the Council of Europe and began in 2001. Find information, resources and interactive games on the European Day of Languages website.
Promotional materials and competition
Every year Léargas distributes posters and other items to promote and celebrate the day. These are always popular, so contact us early to request your supply! We also hold an annual competition to promote language learning. The EDL website has a range of interactive games and resources available for language teachers and learners.
Benefits
The European Day of Languages is a perfect way for teachers or learners of ANY language to celebrate language learning and language diversity. Language learning brings benefits to young and old: you are never too old to learn a language and to enjoy the opportunities it opens up! Knowing even a few words of another language can help us to understand and appreciate other cultures and their differences.
