The INTERREG V-A project EMR-Lingua<\/a> runs from 2021-2023 and has the overarching goal of promoting knowledge of the so-called \u2018neighbouring languages\u2019 (Dutch, French and German) in the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion. To this end, a Euregional Neighbourhood Language Centre has been established. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is co-financed by the Interreg V-A Euregion Meuse-Rhine programme of the European Union, based on the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). In the Euregio, several initiatives to promote the knowledge of neighbouring languages have been developed over the years. The goal of the Centre is to bring these initiatives together, and to stimulate connections and cooperation between them, so that a central contact point emerges for schools and other interested parties. For instance, the Centre will bring together and further develop existing digital learning material, it will manage the school labels \u2018Euregioschool\u2019 and \u2018Euregioprofielschool\u2019, and it will support schools in finding partners for exchange projects. As a project partner, ITEM contributes to this Interreg project in two ways. First of all, ITEM (Susanne Sivonen and Dorien Coppens) will make an analysis of legal obstacles for teachers working in a neighbouring country (within the Euregio Meuse-Rhine). Secondly, ITEM (Dr. Daan Hovens) will write a report on existing needs, bottlenecks, and practices regarding language and intercultural education at secondary schools. <\/p>\n\n\n
