“O meu futuro é multilingue / My future is multilingual / Mon avenir est multilingue / Mi futuro es multilingüe”

 Celebration, 25 Sep 2025 - 30 Sep 2025, Penafiel, Portugal

To celebrate the European Day of Languages, our school will be organizing a series of initiatives that celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity, highlighting the importance of foreign languages in the personal, professional, and civic development of students. Throughout the day, students will have the opportunity to participate in Duolingo competitions and other interactive language games, promoting learning in a fun and collaborative way. There will also be an exhibition of work done in foreign language classes, where creative projects will be presented that showcase communication, cultural, and professional skills in different languages. As a symbolic and inspiring moment, a message of peace in several languages will be shared, highlighting the role of languages in promoting dialogue, intercultural understanding, and global citizenship. This activity is in the spirit of the European Day of Languages and reinforces the school's commitment to promoting multilingualism, education for values, and building a future without borders.
