    Communication activities

    ALTE has also been a key player in the EU's strategy to promote multilingualism. In 2012, a consortium of ALTE members delivered the European Survey on Language Competences for the European Commission, which measured 15-year-olds' competences in foreign languages across Europe. ALTE was also a member of the European Commission's Civil Society Platform for Multilingualism, and regularly participates in meetings and conferences where ALTE experts work with decision-makers from across the EU to help inform further policy developments in language education. The European Commission has also contributed greatly to ALTE events, including the address that Tibor Navracsics, the Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, gave at ALTE's 2016 European Day of Languages event at the European Parliament on the importance of multilingualism and linguistic diversity in Europe.
