European Language Cocktail Bar 2024

EUNIC Hungary (the umbrella organisation of European cultural institutes operating in Hungary) and the European Commission's Directorate-General for Translation are organising the European Day of Languages, the European Language Cocktail Bar, a celebration of European linguistic and cultural diversity, for the thirteenth time this year.

The aim of the event is to:

• raise awareness of the importance of language learning,
• engage with Europe's linguistic diversity, and to
• offer visitors fun and playful language activities and language practice sessions.

LOCATION: Istituto Italiano di Cultura Budapest (1088 Budapest, Bródy Sándor u. 8.)

Visitors will be able to solve language-related tasks at the tables of the participating institutions, have a chat with native speakers and receive a symbolic European Language Passport. Participants will be entered into a draw to win valuable prizes for language learning offered by the cultural institutes. In parallel with the language tour, visitors will have the opportunity to participate in 20-minute language practice sessions, learning about different languages. The event is supported by the European Commission.
