2. • Every year since 2001, in
Europe we celebrate the
European Day of
Languages on 26
September . In our days
more and more people
are encouraged to learn
more languages, at any
age, in and out of school.
As the Council of Europe
understood this motion , it
determined to promote
plurilingualism in the
whole Europe .
3. • On the occasion of the
day, a range of events
are organised across
Europe:
Activities for and with
children
Television and radio
programmes
Language classes and
conferences.
• National authorities and
the various partners are
able to organise activities
like these .
4. • As a contribution to the
Council of Europe's European
Day of Languages, the
Association of Language
Testers in Europe met in
Athens at an event attended
by policy-makers, university
staff, and school-owners from
across the region to discuss
maintaining standards of
language learning. The day-
long programme included
contributions from
ambassadors from the UK,
France, Germany, Italy and
Spain.
