European day of languages 26 september

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Day_of_Languages

The general objectives of the European Day of Languages are to:

• Alert the public to the importance of language learning and diversify the range of languages learned in order to increase plurilingualism and intercultural understanding;
  
  
• Promote the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe;
  
  
• Encourage lifelong language learning in and out of school.
  In keeping with these rules, people, young and old, are encouraged to take up a language, or take special pride in their existing language skills. Also, those responsible for providing access to language learning are encouraged to make it easier for people to learn a range of languages, and to support policy initiatives to promote languages. There is also emphasis on learning a language other than English.
