Europe is rich in languages – there are over 200 European languages and many more spoken by citizens whose family origin is from other continents. This is an important resource to be recognised, used and cherished. Learning other peoples’ languages is a way of helping us to understand each other better and overcome our cultural differences. So with Brexit fast approaching, what better time to remember that even if we are no longer members of the European Union, the UK is still in Europe.
The Languages Departments celebrated languages through an exciting photo competition in which students were challenged to capture what Europe means to them. Is it a sense of community, a feeling of belonging, diversity, language learning, opportunity, future study or work, family, holidays or something else entirely?
