The European Day of Languages was initiated by the Council of Europe and is now organized by the European Union National Institutes of Culture (EUNIC) every year. 

This year’s participants are the embassies of France, Italy, as well as the Aula Cervantes, Wallonie-Bruxelles, the British Council and the Goethe-Institut.

As in previous years, the European Day of Languages consists of two parts: In the morning, scientists, linguists and teachers of foreign languages will have the chance to discuss and exchange experiences.
