We are encouraging pupils to celebrate the European Day of Languages on Thursday 26 September by taking part in our poster competition!

To mark the European Day of Languages, pupils are invited to participate in our poster competition. With the number of UK languages learners reducing, whilst international commerce and travel increase, our aim is to spread the message of the importance of learning languages, promoting intercultural awareness and encourage uptake, particularly at GCSE and beyond.

Speaking another language can lead to new friendships, more fun when on holiday and opportunities to study or work abroad in the future.

Pupils' task is to create a poster illustrating the theme of ‘Languages for Peace'. This can use symbols, quotes and artwork to convey messages of unity and understanding across different languages and actively contribute to the use of languages as a vehicle for reaching across linguistic and cultural divides. Send us a photo or pdf of the poster you produce to be showcased on the European Day of Languages website. There will be prizes for the top 5 most creative entries.

We look forward to judging your entries!
