I have just received the following flier that Community groups may be interested in.

     £50 Grant  

Do you run a community group?

Are you interested in arranging fun activities to celebrate the European Day of Languages on 26^th September?

If so, and you would like a chance to win a £50 grant towards event costs, please read on……………

To encourage our communities to take part in European Day of Language celebrations, Europe Direct North East, which is hosted by Durham County Council, is offering groups a chance to win one of ten £50 grants.

What are we looking for?

Community activities, with a European language or cultural theme, to take place on or around the 26^th September. For example you could organise:

·     European language taster sessions so that people can learn e.g. French, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Polish, etc.

·     Projects that raise awareness about other European cultures, e.g. demonstrate or learn songs or dance from another European country; or display or make traditional dress from another European country.

·     A party that brings together members of the community, some of whom originated in other European countries, e.g. Poland
