What is the European Language Label?
The European Language Label is an award for innovative language-learning projects. It rewards creative ways to improve the quality of language teaching, motivate learners and make the best of available resources.

To be successful, projects must demonstrate creative thinking and lead to improved teaching provision and learner achievement. They must be innovative, effective and replicable by others in the UK and other countries. 

The European Language Label in the UK was previously known as the European Award for Languages until 2010. It's part of a Europe-wide programme, funded by the European Commission within their Multilingualism strand, which has been running since 1999. To date, over 1,400 projects in 30 European countries have won the Language Label.

The European Language Label in the UK is managed by CILT on behalf of Ecorys within the EC-funded Transversal Programme.
