Celebrate the European Day of Languages on 26 September

The European Day of Languages is a time to celebrate all the languages spoken around the world, promote language learning and have some multilingual fun!


Following the success of the Year of Languages, the Council of Europe declared a European Day of Languages to be celebrated on 26 of September each year. On the occasion of the day, a range of events are organised across Europe: activities for and with children, television and radio programmes, language classes and conferences.

How do I get involved?

You can take part either by getting involved in the organised activities or by getting together with other people and setting up your own events. You could set up a discussion group in your local area for people from different linguistical backgrounds, set up a language café or even just invite a neighbour who speaks a different language round for tea.

Find out what events are being held in your country or set up your own event. But remember to add it to the event’s calendar!

You can have a go at language games, quizzes and read the fun facts online too.

There is also a special area set up for teachers with ideas on how they can implement the European Day of Languages in their school and lessons.

Celebrate the advantages of being able to study or work abroad and the physical and cognitive benefits of learning a language!

Please send us you contributions at contact@mediactiveyouth.net

We welcome a variety of forms: articles, photos, video content, caricatures... When sending us an article, consider including a suitable photo to go with it, thus making your contribution more visually appealing.

All contributions should be dedicated to the issues of youth
and youth policy.

The right to publish in the magazine belongs to everyone!

MAKE A STAND – LET’S BUILD OUR FUTURE TOGETHER!

TYM publishes a variety of media contents – texts, caricatures, photos, video-clips – created by young people, youth workers, experts, and all others that wish and have something to say about youth policy.

Geographically, TYM is primarily targeting European and Latin American countries, but it also publishes important news and initiatives in the field of youth policy worldwide.

The e-Magazine gives special attention to youth media activism, wishing to present the examples of best practices of using different media for youth activism.

Besides authored articles, TYM also gathers together relevant articles from other web-sites. TYM e-Magazine is thus a virtual space where visitors are able to get information about the international situation and problems of youth policy, and the place where young authors are able to write articles and other content intended for improving the youth policy internationally. In this respect, it has vital importance for the intraregional and transregional association, understanding, coming together, promoting dialogue and cooperation.
This portal has been created as part of the international MEDIActive Youth project implemented within the Erasmus + Programme. The aims of the project are:
Increasing the capacity of youth organisations/workers in the field of media literacy and media activism as well as fostering their active participation in society
Strengthening media promotion of youth policy and democratic values on European and global level.
