European Day of Languages in MCS

A number of events acrooss several years groups will help all appreciate Europe’s rich linguistic diversity and heritage. This began with a quiz for all first yearsfor European day of languages and a poster competition. There will be an activity for second years and TYs are taking part in a language challenge: 50 challenges in 50 hours.

Throughout Europe, 700 million Europeans are represented in the Council of Europe's 46 member states and all are encouraged to discover more languages at any age, as part of or alongside their studies. This stems from the Council of Europe’s conviction that linguistic diversity is a tool for achieving greater intercultural understanding and a key element in the rich cultural heritage of our continent. Therefore, the Council of Europe, in Strasbourg, promotes plurilingualism in the whole of Europe. 

At the Council of Europe’s initiative, the European Day of Languages has been celebrated every year since 2001 on 26 September - together with the European Commission.
