European Day of Languages


The European Day of Languages is a yearly event held on 26 September. It celebrates the linguistic diversity of a continent with over 200 European languages, 24 official EU languages, about 60 regional or minority languages and many more languages spoken by the people.
The meaning of the day is to raise awareness of the wide variety of languages in Europe, to promote cultural & linguistic diversity and to encourage people of all ages to learn languages.
The European Day of Languages was established by the European Commission and the Council of Europe. This year was the 16th time to celebrate the day.


This year the day was celebrated in Oulu as the main event in Finland. The celebrations took place at the shopping center Valkea. There were many kind of activities, such as stage performances, information desks, quizzes, immersion and - what our students liked the most - orientation trial with different kinds of functional games.
