CertiLingua
CertiLingua is a European label of excellence that recognizes outstanding linguistic, European and intercultural skills of students. The certificate was initiated by the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Netherlands . It is now jointly awarded by 19 partner countries and institutions. The first graduates acquired the certificate in 2008. The number of schools that award CertiLingua has grown steadily since then and in 2014 was over 200.
Requirements for the acquisition of CertiLingua
Pupils who want to acquire CertiLingua show that they are linguistically and culturally up to the challenges of European and international cooperation. To do this, they must prove that they:

- have successfully participated in bilingual subject teaching ;
- have acquired knowledge of European and international issues in several subjects;
