"Let’s talk about multilingualism!"

European politicians will respond to the recommendations from the project’s research: http://www.language-rich.eu/home/country-profiles/country-key-findings.html

Speakers on that panel will be:  

• Doris Pack, Member of the European Parliament, Head of Culture Committee
• Kristina Cunningham, Head of Sector, Multilingualism policy, European Commission
• Sjur Bergan, Head of Education Department, Council of Europe
  

The panel will be chaired Xavier North, Delegate-General for the French language and languages of France, Ministry of Culture and Communication.

@LanguageRich will tweet the recommendations and would like to hear your opinion on them and how you think they could be implemented in the best way.

@LanguageRich also have some questions for you:

• What would be your European Recommendation on multilingualism?
• What should be the future focus of multilingual policy?
• Should languages present in communities be offered in schools and universities?
• Do you think the European Commission’s trilingual formula of ‘mother tongue plus two’ is still enough?
• Is the strong position of English threatening multilingualism?
