EU Education and Culture programmes will continue their history of support for language learning
projects. Through funding programmes such as Erasmus+ and Creative Europe the European Union
supports language learning and linguistic diversity through for example mobility programs, cooperation
projects and the support for European Capitals of Culture. Thanks to these programs, many successful
projects promote learning and the visibility of regional and minority languages in Europe. Creative Europe
also supports literary translation to allow wider access to important literary works and to maintain
linguistic diversity in the EU.
