Celebrated each year on 26 September, the European Day of Languages (EDL) is a means of promoting awareness among the general public of the importance of language learning and protecting the linguistic heritage. With less than 6 weeks to go until EDL, we are excited to inform you about the developments for this year’s edition: the materials available, the new ideas, features, competitions and initiatives. The Council of Europe will mark the 2024 European Day of Languages under the motto “Languages for peace”, highlighting how linguistic diversity and language education can play a key role in promoting a culture of peace, living together and democracy.

Enjoy the special issue of the European Language Gazette which is dedicated entirely to 2024 Day: English – French.
