Throughout Europe, 800 million Europeans represented in the Council of Europe’s 47 member states are encouraged to learn more languages, at any age, in and out of school. Being convinced that linguistic diversity is a tool for achieving greater intercultural understanding and a key element in the rich cultural heritage of our continent, the Council of Europe promotes plurilingualism in the whole of Europe.
The European Commission in Edinburgh, in collaboration with the Iomairt Ghàidhlig Dhùn Èideann, the Institut français, the Goethe Institut, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, the Consulate general of Poland and the Education Office of Spain, invite you to celebrate the diversity of european languages.
Join us for a journey of discovery through some of the languages of Europe.
