The Key Activity 2 Multilateral Project funded by the European Commission will join its 5 European
partners in Cáceres; the Gastronomy Capital of 2015 on Tuesday 17th March 2015 where there will

Civil Society Platform for Multilingualism, Belgium, followed by a day of presentations, workshops

“The project is an outstanding example of how to deliver quality language and culture Knowledge to
a cross section of society for whom it is vital to be well integrated so that communities become less
difficult to become a part of.”
“The use of the media led language and culture platform is aimed at enriching the understanding of
migrant learners to allow for a smoother transition into the society of the partner country whilst
simultaneously gaining an appreciation of the intrinsic yet hidden cultural codes and values.”
