Languages Open Hearts and Minds

 Language Week, 22 sep 2025 - 30 sep 2025, Pakrac, Croatia

From 22 to 30 September, our school will celebrate the European Day of Languages with a week-long program of activities. Students of foreign languages from grades 5 to 8 will participate both in regular lessons of English and German and in extracurricular activities designed to promote language learning in creative and enjoyable ways. The program will include the creation of posters and a translation of the school hymn into several languages. Interactive activities will be carried out in class and presented in the school hall, such as crossword puzzles (to be solved individually and in groups), tongue twisters (as short speaking challenges), and an escape box with quick language riddles. To encourage participation, students will collect their results in a Language Passport, and those who complete all tasks will receive small prizes. Through these activities, we want to highlight the role of languages in opening hearts and minds, building cultural bridges, and showing that learning English and German can be engaging, fun, and inspiring.
