Celebrate the European Day of Languages with us
The European Day of Languages is celebrated each year on 26 September. It was established in 2001 at the joint initiative of the Council of Europe and the European Commission.
Through this action, some 700 million citizens across the Council of Europe’s 46 member states are encouraged to discover and learn languages at any age, whether within formal education or alongside it. This reflects the shared conviction of the Council of Europe and the European Commission that linguistic diversity is a powerful means of fostering intercultural understanding and a fundamental component of Europe’s rich cultural heritage.
Kristianstad University is one of nine European higher education institutions participating in the "COLOURS" European alliance. The alliance's primary goals are to strengthen its European network, increase its global visibility, and foster mobility and cooperation within Europe.
The COLOURS project's Language Center working group has, among other things, developed a multilingual glossary to help students and staff learn the most useful words, phrases, and idioms from the alliance's various languages.
To mark the European Day of Language, we would like to invite you to visit the Colours Language Center on the Colours website to learn about our work and access the digital glossary.
