The European Day of Languages (EDL) is celebrated across Europe on the 26th of September every year. It aims to promote all the languages learned and spoken across Europe and its rich linguistic. Why not celebrate with your class, and use this opportunity to raise the profile of language learning and multiculturalism in your school?
If you're looking for inspiration, SCILT has compiled lots of ideas for primary, secondary and parents & families on our EDL webpage. What about making multilingual bunting, hosting karaoke in different languages, or designing a board game? You will also find links to competitions, blogs and websites with a huge range of celebration ideas and activities.
Let us know how you celebrate and we'll include you in our EDL 2026 blog. Upload a short description and some colourful photos or email SCILT.
