Motto: “Those who know many
languages live as many lives as the languages they know.”
On the 26th
of September 2016 a series of educational activities were dedicated to European
Day of Languages at Nucet Secondary School. The aims of this celebration were:
-
to provide students with interesting information about
the origin of European languages;
-
to stimulate students to
study and use foreign languages;
-
to inform students about
the importance of language skills in the labor market;
-
to encourage
language learning outside school.
The
activity began with a Power Point presentation on "European
Day of Languages", which gave students the opportunity to
enrich their knowledge with interesting information about European countries and languages. Languages as a tool
of communication are an essential element of the European Union. The languages
we speak define our identity and the European Union respects cultural and
linguistic diversity of its citizens.
The students took part in interactive games and activities provided by the EDL website
(http://edl.ecml.at/Events/Eve ntsDatabase / tabid / 1772 / Language e / fr-FR / Default.aspx).
They also made drawings of European flags, maps and post cards, they practised greetings in
several European languages, sang songs and read poems. Then the students held a mini-exhibition
of their creations.
Throughout this activity the students found out that every year on September 26th
it’s celebrated not only the 23 official EU languages, but also the rich heritage of cultures and
traditions, which is a vivid expression of all languages of Europe. Linguistic diversity gives us
all the opportunity to put ourselves in the shoes of others and to look at life from a different perspective.
Congratulations, Adela and your team!
