At the initiative of the Council of Europe, Strasbourg, the European Day of Languages is celebrated since 2001 on September 26th.
Throughout Europe, 800 million Europeans represented in the Council of Europe 47 member states are encouraged to learn more languages, at any age, in and out of school. Being convinced that linguistic diversity is a tool for more intercultural understanding and a key element of the rich cultural heritage of our continent, the Council of Europe promotes multilinguism in whole Europe.
On the occasion of the day, a range of events are organised across Europe: happenings for and with children, television and radio programmes, language classes and conferences. National authorities and the various partners are given a free hand to organise activities. To coordinate the activities organised at national level, the Council of Europe asks participating countries to nominate "National Relay Persons" for the day.
