Orban launches Arsenal languages scheme



EU Multilingualism Commissioner was in London today (2 April) for the
launch of an innovative project combining foreign-language learning
and football training run by Arsenal football club.



This year's edition of the English Premiership club's 'Double Club'
initiative, which the EU executive described as an "innovative project
aimed at schoolchildren, combining language learning with football
training," sees youngsters from London and the surrounding area attend
language courses of six to eight weeks, followed by football sessions.
