If you're fascinated by languages, want to work one day in the European institutions, or want to learn more about the work of a Parliament translator or interpreter, then Multilingualism Day 2025 is your chance to engage directly with the 24 official EU languages.
This year’s event will explore "Multilingualism: Past, Present, Future" and is your big opportunity to peek behind the scenes of the European Parliament in Brussels.
Numerous activities will take place and you can get to meet interpreters, translators and other multilingual staff and learn about their work and even set foot inside the European Parliament and experience the chamber, where the debates and votes take place.
The European Parliament is definitely a multilingual environment as 24 languages are used by staff and language professionals.
Multilingualism ensures that all EU citizens can follow the work of their democratic representatives in any of these official languages. Linguistic and cultural diversity is one of the EU’s greatest strengths, it is a core value that is woven into the Treaties establishing the EU.
Multilingualism Day 2025 is your chance to see this diversity in action.
