About the project
"The best education is the one you don't even notice" ("La meilleure education est celle dont on ne s'aperçoit pas") - Quote from the French writer André Malraux (1901-76).
"Young Europeans Love Languages" is a network of European partners whose aim is to promote language learning as a key skill of lifelong learning.
We believe that fun, attractive, and unconventional forms of language learning should be incorporated not only in formal education but also in other non-formal/informal contexts and leisure activities.
Our network plans to identify a number of tools to raise awareness and to demonstrate the importance of language learning which will help to increase the effectiveness of language teaching.
Our aims are:
- to find previous projects where innovative and useful language tools have been developed but not sustained and, where possible, revive and adapt them for use with young people in non-formal and informal environments
- to make the process of learning meaningful and fun e.g. language learning as an aspect of sport, social and cultural activities
- to create a toolbox containing language learning tools which have been adapted to be integrated in other social, cultural and sporting activities for young people.
The ceremony took place in Vienna at the occasion of the international conference „Participating actively in labour market and society with language competences”.
