Subject: [AEGEE-L] Participate in the European Day of Languages 26-9


> Dear friends,
>
> Today I would like to bring you some good news about the project AEGEE is
> planning to organize on the European Day of Languages on the 26th of
> September 2001.
> In February an application to the European Commission was handed in for
> the project called "Building Languages Bridges- European Day of Languages"
> and now we got a positive answer: the Commission very interested in our
> project and is going to support us financially!
> So far it is not settled how high the amount we will get will be, but it
> seems that AEGEE-Europe can SUPPORT organizing LOCALS financially.
>
> So get involved and contribute to a project that will also have a large
> impact and improve AEGEE's visibility. Only together we can make it
> happen!
>
>  If your antenna/ contact antenna wants to take part in the project please
> subscribe to LANGUAGES-L (send an email to [log in to unmask] with no
> subject and the message: subscribe languages-l <name><antenna>.
>
> Please get in touch with the project team by writing to
> [log in to unmask] and send them an outline of your planned activities
> and a budget, especially if you want to apply for funds for your
> activities.
> For those of you not yet familiar with the project, find below the
> description of possible activities. For any questions write to
> [log in to unmask]
>
> Waiting for you to get active,

> LANGUAGE COURSE
> In cities all over Europe lo! cals gather at the same time (e.g. 1 PM
> (CET)) people on market squares or other suitable locations for an event
> of app.
> 60 minutes. The focus will lie on languages, every language in Europe
> including languages which are not that widely spread in Europe. So might
> people in Helsinki (FIN) learn Basque, people in L'viv (UKR) learn Gaelic
> or people in Paris (F) learn Estonian. There is not a defined target
> group; everybody should be free to attend this event. A professional
> partner should be found, for example teacher(s) to play a decisive role as
>
> he/ they has/ have to be able to speak and entertain a big group of
> people. On the other hand he/ they should be native speaker(s) of the
> taught language and able to use modern interactive tools of language
> teaching. If financial means are available some highlight squares can even
> be connected via video-transmission to demonstrate the European dimension.
> A cheaper solution is to set up web-cameras and bring pictures from events
> all over Europe together on one webpage.
> Take into consideration what a GREAT PR TOOL it could be to make yourself
> known to the local authorities, media, university or possible companies
> interested in funding your antenna. As it should reach as many people as
> possible, AEGEE does not have to organise this activity alone and you are
> encouraged to co-operate with the local authorities, universities or other
> NGOs.
>
> LANGUAGE FAIR
>
> You could organize a language fair in the main hall of the university, in
> some cultural centres, in a market square...or in other suitable
> locations.
> Erasmus students could help you a lot; usually they'e very happy to show
> their country, present thier own language and so on.
> One stand per language will represent a language community. Native
> speakers can be invited or found among migrant workers or guest students
> to build and
> explain the information stand on their language. Each stand will include
> some of the following elements:
> - map: where is this language spoken?;
> - facts and history of the language (how many speakers?, short explanation
> of the history etc);
> - documentation about the countries where the specific language is spoken
> (posters, photos, videos);
> - language samples visitors can listen to;
> - written documents in order to see the language in writing together with
> some explanations (accents, capital letters etc);
> - illustration of regional differences;
> - amusing examples (one word with different meanings, proverbs, sayings);
> - presentation of writers and foreign literature.
> and of course you can add many other things...your ideas are more than
> welcomed!!
