This award, which is supported by the European Commission, recognises language-learning initiatives across Europe which are innovative, creative and motivating for learners. The Award was presented to the Transferable Skills Project by the Minister for Education and Science, Ms Mary Hanafin, T.D. at a ceremony in the Law Society.
"The various approaches presented in this project will prepare students for the world of work in a global business and skills environment, in Europe and beyond. The intercultural values combine with the transferable skills to provide students with a firm basis for future endeavour. The case studies and exemplars across a range of languages and courses are valuable to all participants and will serve as a reference source for other departments and institutions."
