[Edling] 26 September is the European Day of Languages

[Francis M. Hult via Edling]

European Day of Languages 2021: 20 years celebrating linguistic and
cultural diversity

Throughout Europe, 800 million Europeans are represented in the Council of
Europe's 47 member states and all are encouraged to discover more languages
at any age, as part of or alongside their studies. This stems from the
Council of Europe’s conviction that linguistic diversity is a tool for
achieving greater intercultural understanding and a key element in the rich
cultural heritage of our continent. Therefore, the Council of Europe, in
Strasbourg, promotes plurilingualism in the whole of Europe.

At the Council of Europe’s initiative, the European Day of Languages has
been celebrated every year since 2001 on 26 September - together with the
European Commission.
