If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart ‒Nelson Mandela If we want to be united in diversity, as the EUs motto puts it, we need to be able to understand languages other than our own. The European Commission’s Translation service organizes since 2007 Juvenes Translatores (bit.ly/SoamtE), a school translation contest which has proved hugely popular: 99% of schools that took part in previous contests would like to do it again. Why this contest? To highlight the role of language learning and translation and to promote joint activities with schools abroad. Some participating schools have even started educational exchanges via Juvenes Translatores, just like “e-twinning” (bit.ly/1h3PgfH). What is the prize? Who can participate? All details in this leaflet bit.ly/SoamtE or on this page ec.europa.eu/translatores/rules/index_en.htm. And do not forget to register your school between 1 September and 20 October 2014! Good luck!
