European Day of Languages

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.

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. The Council of Europe, therefore, promotes plurilingualism throughout Europe. 

On this occasion today, you can take part in a language quiz on the Vikerraadio website and attend the language day event at the Haapsalu Children's Library, where embassies and cultural institutes - including the Liszt Institute - from many European countries will present their Alphabet Books, languages, and cultures.
