European Day of Languages Contest, win a trip to one of the European countries!

Which European language do you like the most? Can you tell us about the traditions and interesting facts about a European country in its own language?

The idea behind the "Two Sides of a European Country" contest studies traditions in Europe, reveals interesting and possibly yet unknown facts about European countries, and promotes interest in Europe, the British Council Kazakhstan said.   

What do you need to take part in the contest?

Think of how you can present traditional and interesting, but not well-known facts about a European country. Whether it is a presentation, a brief theatrical performance or a story is entirely up to you. Be creative!

Please record your presentation in wmv video format, 320х200 size. The size of the movie file must not exceed 10МВ.
