On 12 December, the ECML organised a promotional event for its next programme 2020-23 entitled, “Inspiring innovation in language education: changing contexts, evolving competences”. 

The event, which was livestreamed, offers language professionals an insight into the European Centre for Modern Languages and the benefits of participating in its next programme of activities. 

The Call for the new programme is due to be launched in January 2019 – with the successful projects to start the following year. This pre-Call event provides a first opportunity to find out about into its themes. The resulting programme will be based on key priorities in language education as identified by the ECML’s 33 member states (compiled through an online survey of stakeholders). 

The video of the event features members of the Professional Network Forum (a network of international associations /organisations focusing on language education and assessment), current and former project coordinators, ECML consultants and members of the ECML Governing Board representing national authorities, each offering their perspective on current challenges in language education and how the ECML can address these through its next programme. The event, which is in English and French, also provides an introduction into the Call for projects and outlines the different possibilities for participating.
