European Award for Languages 2010 (Leargas)
By admin | February 10, 2010
Leargas, the national agency in Ireland for co-operation programmes in education, youth and community work, vocational education and training, is managing the European Award for Languages 2010 on behalf of the EU.
Schools, colleges, businesses and language institutions can apply for these awards. The aim in 2010 is to find organizations that promote language learning in the community, language skills at work & languages in the arts.
2010 is the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. Language learning supports an inclusive multicultural society by increasing understanding of cultural diversity and acceptance of different beliefs.
To emphasize the importance of inclusion there is a separate award in 2010 for The Language Ambassador of the Year. This award will go to a person in the formal or non-formal sector, who has encouraged language learning in the community or created an awareness of languages in society.
Examples of previous winning projects are on the Leargas website. Closing date for applications: March 31, 2010. For application forms and further details contact Nellie Woods at Leargas, or email languages (at) leargas.ie.
