Lingua Fest 2025

 Language festival, 27 Sep 2025, Serres, Greece

Lingua Fest – European Day of Languages Lingua Fest will take place in the central square of the city of Serres, Greece, and it is organized by the local associations of English, French, and German language teachers, in collaboration with the City Council . The event is free of charge and open to all students of the area and the general public. The main idea is to turn the central square of the city into a journey into European languages and culture. Passing through various stations, students will get to "travel" to different activities centered around European languages,countries, and cultures, learning and having fun along the way. Activities include a photo booth, the creation of a passport with stamps collected through the different activity stations, a treasure hunt, games, competitions, a karaoke and a dance party at the end. Our aim is to celebrate the European Day of Languages by learning and having fun together, in an interactive, educational and original way, engaging students and the general public in the European Day of Languages celebration. https://www.facebook.com/groups/138608871210/?locale=el_GR 3. https://www.facebook.com/deutchgrSerres
