The event, an
initiative of the Council of Europe, is organised by the European Union National
Institutes of Culture (EUNIC) every year. This year’s participants are the
British Council, Goethe Institute, Italian and Polish embassies, along with the
Aula Cervantes, the Francais-L’Espace Institute, Delegation Wallonia-Brussels
and Greek embassy which takes part for the first time.
Themed “Multilingualism at Vietnamese Schools”, the festival provides a special
opportunity for teachers and lecturers at schools and universities as well as
the public to get an insight into European linguistic and cultural diversity. It
also serves as a platform for European languages to introduce themselves.
Within the event’s framework, scientists, linguists and teachers of foreign
languages will have a chance to discuss and exchange experiences at a workshop
on October 29 morning.
In the afternoon, visitors will be able to explore European languages and
culture through 30-minute-long trial classes of different languages such as
English, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish and watch short documentaries
reflecting European cultural diversity.
