From 25 June to 3 July 2026, the 6th project meeting of the Erasmus+ project PEP as well as a training course on plurilingual education took place in Viseu (Portugal). The focus was on preparing the face-to-face component of the training, reflecting on the online modules conducted in May and June, and planning the final steps towards project completion. The training enabled participants to deepen their knowledge of plurilingual education and engage in international exchange.

The members of the European PEP project (Erasmus+) are pleased to announce the publication of the “Encyclopaedia of Plurilingual Education / Encyclopédie de l’éducation plurilingue” (edited by Christian Ollivier and Sílvia Melo-Pfeifer), a bilingual reference work for everyone interested in plurilingual education. More than one hundred authors, internationally recognised experts in their respective fields, have contributed to this volume. In compact two- to three-page articles, they present around one hundred concepts and approaches in the field of plurilingual education.
