The European Day of Languages is a well-established opportunity to raise awareness about language learning and linguistic diversity. To celebrate the European Day of Languages, the European Commission is organizing two virtual conferences on 26 September. 


Join us online!


This year, we will focus on the results of the 2024 Eurobarometer on Europeans and their languages and compare them with the 2012 Eurobarometer results.


We will connect live with some of the EU countries that achieved positive results, including Finland, Spain and Czech Republic. Together, we will try to identify key factors of success.


 


This year, the EU celebrates 20 years of its biggest enlargement: on 1 May 2004, ten countries (Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia) joined the European Union, which grew from 15 to 25 members. This historic enlargement of the EU, increasing the number of Member States by two-thirds overnight, was the culmination of a long accession process. It signalled the reunification of a Europe that had been divided for half a century. The enlargement made the EU the world's largest integrated market and increased trade between Member States, contributing to economic growth both in the EU and the acceding countries. 


Have a look at the draft programme!


The 2004 enlargement languages will be in the spotlight: our interpreters will be providing simultaneous interpretation from all of them into French, German and English, providing participants with a nice opportunity to witness simultaneous interpretation in action.
