About European Day of Languages
Throughout Europe, 700 million people are represented in the Council of Europe’s 46 member states and all are encouraged to discover more languages at any age. 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. The European Day of Languages has been celebrated every year since 2001 on 26 September and promotes plurilingualism in the whole of Europe.
