Today the 26th September [2011] the 10th anniversary of the European Day of Languages (EDL) will be celebrated at the Council of Europe and throughout its 47 member states.
This commemoration seeks to alert the public to the importance of language learning, promoting cultural and linguistic diversity in Europe and increasing intercultural understanding.
To join in the celebrations EUROLIS is launching the second edition Of Eurotoolbox on the road: a travelling exhibition of Literature for children and young people.
What is Eurotoolbox?
It consists of four specially chosen collections of literature for children and young people in their original language (French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish). There are 12 to 15 books in each language. The authors and illustrators selected represent some of the very best of children’s books in these languages.
