interactive group quiz that will allow you to win several prizes:
- a gift certificate (value of 100$) valid at Les Libraires;
- two tickets for the play FAIRFLY POUR EMPORTER (this La Licorne play can be watched at your convenience; available online between November 10 and December 12, 2020);

What is the European Day of Languages?
The European Year of Languages 2001, jointly organised by the Council of Europe and the European Union, was successful in involving millions of people across 45 participating countries. Its activities celebrated linguistic diversity in Europe and promoted language learning. Following the success of the Year of Languages, the Council of Europe declared a European Day of Languages to be celebrated on 26th of September each year. Because of COVID-19, and in order to better prepare this online edition, we will exceptionnally commemorate this day on October 23rd this year.
