7th European language day in Hanoi

This information was released by Director of Goethe Institute Vietnam Wilfried Eckstein at a press conference in Hanoi on October 11th.

Under the theme “Internationalisation: Challenges and Opportunities for Schools in Vietnam”, the event will celebrate the diversity of the national languages of participating European countries and promote multilingualism. It is expected to draw the participation of the Aula Cervantes and the British Council, as well as embassies of France, Italy, Wallonie-Bruxelles Delegation, and the Goethe Institute Vietnam.

During the day, participating institutions will present their respective languages and countries. Taster classes will be offered to enable participants to learn a few words and communicate in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Brief, fun sessions lasting 30 minutes each are scheduled for the entire afternoon. The diversity of European culture will be featured in selected short documentary films to be screened in the hall of the Goethe Institute.

The European Day of Language was initiated by Council of Europe and is now organised by the European Union National Institutes of Culture (EUNIC) every year. It will be a chance for all those interested in language, culture, international exchange and experience to partake in a multi-lingual environment and enjoy a colourful day full of interesting input and exchange.

Entrance to all events is free./.
