On the 19 May 2017 Christine Lechner and Renata Scaratti-Zanin had the opportunity to attend the Symposium to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Austrian Society for Languages Didactics and to present the ARC project ("Action research communities for language teachers") there. The lively and very intensive symposium hosted by the University of Vienna was attended by over 80 researchers, teachers and teacher educators as well as representatives from educational authorities and publishing houses from Austria, Germany, Italy and Hungary. The long abstract (*) on the ARC project (pp. 60-64) is included in the conference proceedings and describes the project framework, steps taken so far as well as the results from the workshop projects and ongoing developments.
