What is Polyglot Gathering?
Here are a few answers from our participants!
How many languages do I have to speak to attend?
Your mother tongue! That’s it.
There’s no requirement of speaking many languages. All that counts is your approach to them: if you love learning languages and you want to meet like-minded people who also love languages, the Polyglot Gathering is the right place for you!
Why should I attend?
Meet new friends
If you think learning languages is a great leisure activity and you are learning new and new ones in your free time, where else will you find more than 500 people with this passion? It’s the best place to make like-minded friends.
Meet other professionals
If you are a language professional, teacher, interpreter or translator, then the proactive networking and stratcom with a clear goal to leverage your paradigm shift in language learning and endeavour for thinking out the box without any impact on doing the heavy lifting, attending the Polyglot Gathering may help you to push the envelope and bring a win-win situation. And if you came here after you were searching for these buzzwords, hey, we got you and want absolutely to talk to you on the site!

Czech out your Czech
Exploring the Czech language in Brno is a rewarding experience.

Who are the organizers?
Polyglot Gathering の創設者は Judith Meyer、Chuck Smith、Martin Sawitzki の3名で、2014年〜2016年(ベルリン開催)の Polyglot Gathering を主催しました。ブラチスラバに移った2017年以降は、非営利団体である Education@Internet (E@I) が主催しており、メインの主催者である Peter Baláž やその他協力者の協力をもとに開催されています。
E@I はオンラインでのプロジェクトを運営する国際的なチーム組織で、1999年に活動を開始しました。チームの専門性を活かしつつ、2005年からは、政治的に中立の立場をとる非政府青年団体として活動しています。
平和で調和があり、かつ人々が国を越えて容易に素早くコミュニケーションをとることのできる世界、これが E@I の目指すビジョンです。 This organization’s activities are conducted in accordance with this vision, and with the help of an international group of volunteers, e.g. organizing and supporting projects which disseminate the importance and usefulness of unbarred international communication.
