Promotion de l’éducation plurilingue – Partage de pratiques, formation et information (PEP)

The project “Promotion de l’éducation plurilingue – Partage des pratiques, formation et information (PEP)” aims to strengthen the competences of (active and future) language teachers, to promote multilingual education and, as an overall and longer-term goal, to promote multilingualism among European citizens. It contributes to the implementation of the central objective of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR, 2001) – the development of multilingual and pluricultural competence. The relevance of this educational objective was emphasised in the companion volume to the 2020 CEFR; at the same time, it is still little present in educational institutions.

Project goals

  • Collection and analysis of multilingual education practices in Europe (survey of schools and universities).
  • Publication of a collection of good-practice examples with transferable practices.

  • Establishment and maintenance of a “Multilingualism” section on Wikiversity.
  • Development of a hybrid further education/training in the field of multilingual education with didactic/teaching guide
