European Day Of Languages Quiz! #coeEDL

European Day Of Languages

The European Day Of Languages has been held every 26th of September since 2001, and has been celebrated throughout schools of member countries of the Council Of Europe since! The initiative has been promoting the inclusion and diversification of various European languages, that have originated from various different language groups such as Celtic – (Gaeilge, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, etc.) , Gernanic – (English, German, Swedish,etc) , Romantic -(Spanish, French, Italian, etc.) , among many others!
Across member states of the Council Of Europe, various activities to celebrate and revive the use of European languages have been set up.
In Crana College, we have also been celebrating European Day Of Languages, however we have had to celebrate the school events on Friday as the actual day falls on a Saturday this year. In Crana College, and in TY we study three European languages – Irish, Spanish and English, and we wanted to incorporate them into our language day celebrations!
In our Spanish class, along with the supervision of our teacher, we got the chance to organize a quiz for 1st year students, in honor of the event. I had to work in a group along with six other students – Sonia, Ciara, Jack, Thomas, Chloe and Ritik. We worked together,  and on Friday morning we went into a 1st year Business Studies class where we hosted the quiz. We split the class up into six groups of four students and quizzed them on four rounds of questions on numerous about Europe. I had the job of keeping track of the scores on a scoreboard. It was a very close game, and all of the teams ended up with really good scores! In the end it was Group Four, who won with 25 points!
Congratulations to all teams who had participated, and especially to Group Four who won the quiz!
