Since its foundation, AEGEE has been engaged in projects related to languages and intercultural learning, therefore it was natural for our organization to be involved in the European Year of Languages 2001 that was celebrated under the patronage of different European institution, for example Council of Europe, European Union.
The idea of involving AEGEE in the celebration of the European year of languages was born at the beginning of 2001. Then the idea was enriched during a WS at the Spring PM 2001 in Katowice to obtain a final shape after the Spring Agora 2001 in Constanza.
By celebrating the European Day of Languages, AEGEE promotes the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the linguistic diversity among Europeans. The project aims at motivating the European youth to learn different languages, by organizing simultaneous language courses and different types of language related events with broad media coverage all over Europe.
As EDL leaves a lot of room for creativity, the participating locals organize a great variety of language events. Most of the activities (e.g. seminars, courses, contests, language tandem, language fairs) can be found now in the Manual for Less Experienced Locals.
