26 September – Every year since 2001 the European Day of Languages celebrates the rich tapestry of languages coexisting in Europe and beyond. The European Centre for Modern Languages of the Council of Europe (ECML), encouraging excellence and innovation in language teaching, will take part in a key event in Graz (Austria) on 27 September.

A wide range of initiatives will be organised across the continent: a languages, culture and identity fair in Helsinki, (Finland), a ‘Say hello to the world’ initiative at a school in Chminianske Jakubovany (Slovak Republic), ‘Gift of the multilingual gab’ workshops in Maglie (Italy), a ‘Talk to me! Μίλα μου!’ celebration at the open air theatre of Kozani (Greece) or a seminar on Multilingualism at the European Parliament in Brussels (Belgium) amongst them.
