Last Friday Myngle took part in the European Day of Languages Conference in Brussels!

The European Day of Languages was declared by the Council of Europe in 2001 to celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity. We were very excited to be invited to the heart of Europe for the conference. We were among the company of some of the most important and forward thinking educators.

It was a long and exciting day. The keynote presentations started early in the morning and immediately it was apparent that the conference would be a success. Overall it was estimated that more than 300 visitors participated. The majority were teachers from all levels of education but there were also schools and organizations!

The presentations and workshops varied including topics like: effective ways to teach new languages to small children, innovative ways of language exchange, monitoring progress in education and the use of Web2.0 in language learning!

In the afternoon Myngle’s time had come to present and spread the word on the infinite possibilities and opportunities offered by online language learning. We presented to teachers the way Myngle works and explained the benefits of online learning for teachers and students alike.

And we are happy to say we made a connection with everyone! It was clear from personal conversations and face-to-face talks that the teachers were genuinely excited about Myngle and online learning. It was felt that the time is now to embrace Web2.0 and new technologies and break the barriers of traditional education.

And we are proud that we were there to spread the word. In that conference hall, it was clear to everyone that change had happened. People are ready to embrace something new and exciting!

Spread the word.

Spread Myngle!
