European Language Label
The European Label has two main aims. The first is to encourage new initiatives in the field of language teaching and learning. The second is to let teachers and learners know about such initiatives, and to inspire them to adapt the ideas and techniques concerned to their own situation. The Label will be awarded each year to the most innovative language learning projects in each country participating in the scheme (European Label Database). Any such initiative will be eligible, whatever the age of the learners and whatever the type of establishment involved. Some projects will involve the use of new technologies, but that is not essential. What is important is that a project makes good use of the resources available to it.
The Label is coordinated by the European Commission, but managed on a decentralised basis by the Member States of the European Union, Iceland, Norway, Liechenstein and Turkey. National juries will decide on which projects will receive the Label. They will do so according to a number of criteria, some of which have been agreed at European level and will apply in all participating countries. Others will be fixed at national level and will differ according to the country concerned. All projects awarded the Label will receive a certificate signed by Mr Leonard Orban, Member of the European Commission responsible for Multilingualism, and by the national Minister responsible.
