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 was previously known in the UK as the European Award for Languages until 2010. It's part of the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP), the European Union’s flagship programme for collaboration in the field of education and training. The National Agency responsible for the implementation of the LLP in the UK is Ecorys and the Department for Education provides funding to manage the European Language Label within the UK.

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