Between 23–26 September 2025, almost one hundred students enrolled at Liceul Teoretic “Radu Vlădescu” in Pătârlagele town, Buzău county, celebrated the European Day of Languages 2025 (EDL). The event coincided with the 25th anniversary of EDL and embraced the inspiring theme “Languages open hearts and minds.”
The celebration took place under the guidance of the school’s English teachers, who coordinated a variety of creative and collaborative activities. The students worked both individually and in teams to produce materials that reflected linguistic diversity and the power of languages to connect people.
The products included short articles, essays, and literary creations in prose or verse, as well as posters with inspirational quotes, suggestive images, and digital collages. Many contributions were created in English, underlining the students’ ability to communicate across cultures. All the works were gathered in a collaborative Padlet, which served as a virtual exhibition and the final digital product of the event.
The initiative offered several benefits for participants. The students developed their creativity, improved their digital literacy, and enhanced their communication skills in foreign languages. They also gained a deeper appreciation of linguistic and cultural diversity, which strengthened their empathy and openness toward others.
At the same time, the activity brought significant advantages to the school community. It promoted collaboration, teamwork, encouraged intercultural dialogue, and highlighted the importance of multilingualism in education. The event also increased the school’s visibility by aligning local efforts with a major European celebration.
In conclusion, the European Day of Languages 2025 at Liceul Teoretic “Radu Vlădescu” succeeded in combining learning with creativity and cultural exchange. It demonstrated once again that languages truly open hearts and minds, fostering mutual respect and understanding across communities.
