Dear Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps national agencies,

It’s nearly 2024 already, can you believe it? OLS now boasts dozens of courses for 29 languages, 29 buzzing communities, hundreds of hours of content, and we are well into our second video competition. Speaking of the competition, have you reminded our beneficiary organisations to promote the contest among mobility participants?

If not, now’s the time! Get on the phone, send emails, release carrier pigeons, knock on doors, and deliver the message. Do whatever it takes to get those students talking about their language learning experience and perfecting their digital skills by making a video about it.

It’s time for the participants to start participating because the deadline is February 4. Follow this link for the competition rules and entry form.

You might remember we had 47 entries in the first competition. Of the 15 winners, the majority were in the Italian and English learning communities (3 each), followed by Spanish and Swedish language students (2 each). The French, German, Latvian, Romanian, and Slovene communities each had one winner.

Now, the big question is which language community will come out on top this time? Let’s aim for 100 entries!

In this month’s newsletter, we’re promoting new OLS video content courtesy of Euronews, some great content from the community managers, as well as Dutch, Danish and Swedish courses. 

Happy reading and language learning!

Regards,

The OLS team
