Since the 26th of September 2001, The European Day of Languages has been celebrated every year on the same date all over Europe, and naturally, in Denmark as well. The day is founded on the basic premise that language is an integrated component of every culture, and without understanding the individual languages, one cannot completely understand other countries and cultures.
Linguistic knowledge is thus the foundation for intercultural understanding, which is why multilingualism in Europe is so important for us all.
Five different organisations have come together to offer a range of activities on the 26th of September, where you will have the opportunity to broaden your linguistic universe and learn more about language.
