Celebrate the European Day of Languages with us!

From special events and games to language cafés and hands-on activities, there's something for everyone. On or around 26 September, the European Commission organises events and activities across EU countries to mark the European Day of Languages.

What to expect

Activities vary from country to country, and may take place online or in person. They may include

• mini-courses in various languages
• online quizzes
• language workshops
• book fairs and cultural events
• language cafés and conversation sessions
• games and competitions
• translation and interpreting activities
• summer schools.

Some events are especially designed for school pupils, students and teachers, while others are open to people of all ages and backgrounds.

You don’t need to be fluent or even actively learning a language to join in. All you need is an interest and a willingness to try.

Other multilingualism events

We organise multilingualism workshops and other events in all EU countries – and online – throughout the year.
