Languages

The European Union promotes linguistic diversity and the learning of languages to enrich lives and enhance employment skills.

At the European IMF’s Representation in the UK, two dedicated language officers help to promote language learning in a variety of ways, by giving talks in schools and universities on the career advantages of studying languages and through involvement in a range of other initiatives. The Representation supports the efforts of national bodies such as Routes into Languages to boost take-up of languages. It also organises events from language taster evenings to seminars and conferences on language-related themes such as translation, , and an annual event to celebrate the European Day of Languages, 26 September.

In addition, the EU’s Erasmus+ programme offers a wealth of opportunities for those in education in the UK to improve their language skills by studying abroad.

School Sessions

/unitedkingdom/file/studentsjpg_enstudents.jpg

Getting students to engage with the complexity of the European Union can be very difficult. Moving beyond simplistic pro or anti positions is a real challenge. We run impartial, politically neutral, interactive and fun sessions at Europe House for groups of secondary and FE students.

Looking at the history and make-up of the EU, we get students to explore some of the advantages and difficulties in working with 28 member states. They are encouraged to think about what are issues that are best addressed at the European level and what are those which are easiest to solve at the national one. Through the interactive session they can learn about how the EU impacts their every days, the roles and the competences of EU Institution and how citizens can influence their work.

The discussions and debates can be tailored to the interests of your students, the curriculum they are following or current events.

Let's explore Europe

Publication date: 2014

Europe: a beautiful continent with a fascinating history. It has produced many of the world’s famous scientists, inventors, artists and composers, as well as popular entertainers and successful sports people. For centuries Europe was plagued by wars and divisions. But in the last 60 years or so, the countries of this old continent have at last been coming together in peace, friendship and unity, to work for a better Europe and a better world. This resource tells the story simply and clearly. Full of interesting facts and colourful illustrations, it gives a lively overview of Europe and explains briefly what the European Union is and how it works.

Languages take you further

Publication date: 2013

The European Day of Languages is celebrated on 26th September each year to encourage everybody to learn languages. In this small booklet you will find examples of the many languages spoken in Europe.
