The European Day of Languages (EDL), a Council of Europe initiative, is held annually on the 26 September to celebrate language and cultural diversity. CILT has made a range of European Day of Languages resources available to anyone interested in marking the Day. These resources can be used to promote languages throughout the year.

All CILT’s EDL resources can be ordered via the online shop. Resources available include Starter Packs, EDL badges, T-shirts, Balloons, Pens and Class sets of stickers and posters.

Languages Work has also created a number of resources which support the promotion of the true value of languages in the workplace and beyond. They are designed to help students who are making choices about GCSE or A-Level options, college or university courses, or those who are thinking about what career to go for using their languages. Languages Work is also designed to help careers advisers, teachers and parents provide guidance on the use of languages at work and at play.

Many of the Languages Work products can be ordered free of charge in hard copy, including our factsheets, posters and postcards. Visit our online shop now!

Other ideas for promoting languages can be found on the CILT web pages.
