On Saturday, October 25th 2014, Goethe-Institut Hanoi is turning into a melting pot of living multilingualism for the fourth time.

The European Day of Languages has first been initiated by the Council of Europe and is annually organized by the European Union National Institutes of Culture (EUNIC). This year’s participants are the embassies of France, Italy and Poland as well as the Aula Cervantes, the British Council and the Goethe-Institut.

Furthermore, the German Academic Exchange Service as well as the Gestión Educativa Consultore from Spain are taking part in the event.

As in previous years, the European Day of Languages consists of two parts: scientists, linguists and teachers of foreign languages will have the chance to discuss and exchange experiences within their professions in the morning. In the afternoon the Festival of Languages will be happening and everyone who would like to experience the diversity of European languages is heartily welcome.
