Fun Language Classes on 25 September 2025
This event will give secondary school pupils aged 12 the chance to experience in a fun way what it’s like to start learning a new language. The pupils will get short (20 min) lessons in different languages in each of the five cities where the event takes place. In The Hague, Rotterdam, Leiden and Groningen there will be a morning (10:00-12:00) and an afternoon session (13:00-15:00) with four languages, in Utrecht only an afternoon session with three languages.
If you’re a teacher and you want to participate with your class (first year of secondary school), you can register here (in Dutch): Aanmelden voor de Europese Dag van de Talen. The number of places is limited, so don’t wait too long. We are currently looking for schools to participate in our morning programme in Rotterdam!
