As part of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation is organising a conference dedicated to multilingualism in the European area.
This event, which will be held on Monday 8 April 2024 at the Parliament of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, will bring together European experts specializing in issues of linguistic and cultural diversity.
The conference will offer a multidisciplinary and open platform to delve deeper into the issue of multilingualism. Four major themes will be addressed through round tables:
• Multilingualism, Democracy and Interculturality
• How to promote linguistic diversity and multilingualism within the European institutions?
• Artificial intelligence and linguistic diversity: impacts and opportunities?
• Youth, the future of linguistic diversity in Europe?
This meeting will also give a significant place to youth, with the active participation of students from the Master’s programs in European Studies of the French-speaking Belgian universities and the College of Europe in Bruges.
The event will be held in hybrid format. It will be possible to stream the event, however all those who wish to participate in the conference can register via this form and can find the full day schedule through the following here: Conference Day Schedule
