Language Fair in Sintra - "Línguas: a tua ponte para o futuro"

 Language Day, 23 сеп 2025 - 23 сеп 2025, Sintra, Португалия

Este ano, a Comissão Europeia promove as celebrações do Dia Europeu das Línguas a 23 de setembro, na Quinta da Ribafria, em Sintra, numa organização conjunta com os seus parceiros Centro Europe Direct Área Metropolitana de Lisboa e o Agrupamento de Escolas Leal da Câmara, com a colaboração do Município de Sintra. Sob o lema «Línguas: a tua ponte para o futuro», a Feira das Línguas de Sintra apresentará um programa de atividades destinadas aos alunos das escolas do concelho de Sintra, assim como aos visitantes da Quinta da Ribafria, visando suscitar a reflexão dos participantes sobre as línguas como veículo de cultura e de relacionamento entre as pessoas, ao serviço da inclusão e da diversidade, num contexto marcado por migrações e a multiculturalidade das nossas sociedades, bem como sobre o papel fundamental da União Europeia nesse contexto. *** The European Day of Languages’ celebration takes place in the lush green of Quinta da Ribafria, a XVI century palace and park in Sintra, near Lisbon. Under the motto “Languages: your bridge to the future”, the language fair celebrates languages and cultures of Europe with local schools, inspired by the multicultural background of local communities, featuring speak dating, a digital treasure hunt, dances and games by migrant communities, music performances, storytelling and talks on the 40 years of Portugal's EU membership and Multilingualism. To wrap the day up, a tombola with prizes and a celebration cake.
