Culture and theatre are key motivators for a Multilingual Europe.
The European Theatre Convention (ETC) and the Poliglotti4.eu project confirmed their commitment to reinforce culture and theatre as key motivators for a multilingual, integrated and prosperous Europe, when they signed a joint declaration to this effect at the Poliglotti4.eu closing conference in Parma, Italy, on 16 November 2012. The declaration calls upon European policymakers to recognize and utilize the role of culture, and specifically theatre, in the promotion of language diversity and multilingualism and highlights the mobility, employability, new language learning tools and social inclusion that theatre easily fosters.
