The Europan Day of Languages (EDL) aims to highlight the importance of learning languages as an integral part of a person’s growth, and on the relevance of linguistic and cultural diversity.

The Venice edition of the European Day of Languages 2024 was co-organized by the Italian Office of the Council of Europe, the Department of Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice, the Veneto Regional Education Office, Biblioteca Marciana and the Europe Direct office of the municipality of Venice and took place at Auditorium Santa Margherita on 26 September.

Taking inspiration from the 700th anniversary of Marco Polo's death, this year's activity analized the values of linguistic and cultural diversity through the figure of the traveller.
