The Polish Presidency of The Council of the European Union have an honor to invite you to attend a conference on „Multilingual competences for professional and social success in Europe” organized in Warsaw on 28-29 September 2011. The conference is organized by the Ministry of National Education in Poland and Foundation for the Development of the Education System (FRSE) in cooperation with  the Representation of the European Commission in Poland, Warsaw University, Warsaw City Hall and Centre for the Development of Education (ORE).

Main aim

Multilingualism, which is often described as genetic code of the European Union, not only constitutes its heritage, but also an opportunity for economic and social development of the whole continent and its residents. Although language education constitutes a part of broad education-related priorities of the EU,  linguistic competences of its residents not always reflect ambitious political goals and actual needs of the labour market. What is more, growing mobility for the purpose of education and work calls for consistent adapting of education systems to ensure that they prepare European citizens for living in multicultural and multilingual reality. This is why education which promotes mutual respect and intercultural dialogue is given priority.

Main issues to be discussed

The main aim of the conference is to show the impact of multilingual competences on professional and social success in Europe. The debates during panel sessions and workshops will focus mainly on the following issues:

• the process of acquisition of multilingual and multicultural competences within the framework of formal, informal and non-formal education;
• using foreign languages both for the communication purposes and social inclusion;
• the impact of the situation on the labour market on the increased demand for language services as well as the necessity of closer cooperation between business and education.

The results of debates conducted during discussion groups and plenary sessions will be included into the final declaration, which will also underline the importance of language education within the framework of new generation of European educational programmes.

Prospective participants

Polish and foreign politicians responsible for shaping language policy, researchers, teachers, social and business partners, representatives of ministries for education, representatives of LLP NAs, representatives of the European Commission and the European Parliament, as well as other education stakeholders
