What we do
Foreign language skills connect people to more personal, professional, social and cultural experiences. Right now in Ireland, language skills are more important than ever to keep us connected to new and exciting global opportunities.
The aim of Languages Connect is to build awareness of the many advantages of having foreign language skills, and to make foreign language learning more appealing to everyone. We’ve done a lot since launching in September 2018 and we’re introducing more new and exciting projects and events all the time.
Check out our short intro video to find out about some of our current projects.
Origins of Languages Connect
The Languages Connect awareness campaign is being delivered by Post Primary Languages Ireland (PPLI) in partnership with a growing number of partners. It is part of Ireland’s Strategy for Foreign Languages in Education 2017-2026 and Implementation Plan 2017-2022. Run by PPLI, we promote foreign languages to a wide audience. We engage everyone from students to industry professionals so we can make this happen.
This website can help you find out why you should study a language. As well as that, you can discover amazing real-life stories, fun events and much more.
