The one day event “Multiple voices in the classroom: Harnessing the power of regional and minority languages in secondary education” will be streamed online from 09:00 to 12:30 and from 15:45 to 17:30 (CET) on 4 December.
The colloquium will examine how demographic change influences regional and minority languages and their role in secondary education. It will consider the effects of evolving policy frameworks and the factors that may encourage newcomers to learn these languages. It will address the challenges these languages face in multilingual classrooms and will present effective and innovative teaching approaches.
The event forms part of the 2025 cooperation action between the European Commission and the European Centre for Modern Languages of the Council of Europe. It builds on the work of both institutions and takes account of the concerns expressed in the Minority Safepack initiative regarding the exchange of good practice in Europe.
