As of early 2016 the ECSPM is an independent non-governmental, non-profit association, registered according to Danish Law: Registration No. CVR 37116866, to carry on the work of the ‘Platform’ on Multilingualism, launched by the Commission, supported by the DG EAC, in 2009, and re-launched in 2012, and mandated to work toward the development of: (a) coherent plans to raise awareness regarding the value of European linguistic diversity (b) strategies allowing Europeans to learn at least two languages plus L1 starting from an early age, and (c) proposals facilitating the mainstreaming of multilingualism in relevant EU programmes and policies.
The ECSPM is now an alliance for languages and multilingualism in Europe, making possible the cooperation between European, national, and international networks, organisations, federations and associations that view multilingualism as an asset for European economic, social, cultural development, and as a facilitator for intellectual growth, social, and personal development. This civil society aspires to be a strong voice of Europe’s civil society promoting language policies for multilingualism in all aspects of social life by way of focusing on people, and on their ability to use a variety of semiotic resources to access education, social affairs and culture, to participate as active citizens in the EU, shaping its making, to benefit from better communication, wider employment and business opportunities. To achieve these aims, the ECSPM intends to assist raise further awareness about the EU’s linguistic resources, and get underway intercultural dialogue. It will continue drafting policy documents with which to advise the European Commission and EU Member States, and to provide council on how to implement relevant policies effectively. Most importantly, it intends to ensure that the right of all students to learn two languages in addition to their mother tongue is respected, and that Europe’s rich linguistic and cultural resources are maintained, as they are viewed as crucial for the future of Europe, its economic development, and its political integration.- Meetings
