European label for language teaching initiatives

Are you a primary, secondary, post-secondary, tertiary, or youth/adult/professional organisation? Are you motivated, original and creative? Then you should participate in the European Language Label competition organised by the European Commission in Brussels and the Socrates Co-ordinating Committee in Malta.

The European Language Label aims to help the European citizen to become proficient in two European languages in addition to their mother tongue. The idea is to raise awareness of the Maltese language and make it known to other European countries.

The competition will be open to four eligible categories: primary schools, secondary schools, post-secondary schools, and youth/adult organisations. Each participant must fill in an application form and present it by November 21.

All the submitted projects will be mounted in an exhibition in January and evaluated by national and international juries. The winners will be given an award by the Socrates Co-ordinating Committee on January 24.
