Webinar, Tuesday 14th June 16h (CET)
In February this year, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe adopted the first comprehensive Recommendation in the field of languages - on the importance of plurilingual and intercultural education for democratic culture.
This webinar will explain the background to this Recommendation - where it came from, how it is structured, and why it was adopted. It will focus on key messages and what these mean for decision-makers, drawing on the seven principles that underpin the Recommendation's conception of plurilingual and intercultural education. It will conclude by outlining the series of follow-up events planned for the academic year 2022-2023 that will explore specific aspects of the Recommendation and their implications for different target groups.
