Introduction
Any reflection on multilingual education cannot regardless, global, multilingual societies and plurilingual people are the norm rather than the exception. Therefore, the idea that young, as they grow up, meet, learn and use multiple languages must neither surprise nor scare.
In this regard, the European Commission’s white paper ‘ teaching and learning, towards the learning society “of 1996, plurilingualism is defined” identity element “,” feature of European citizenship “and” an essential condition for membership of the learning society ‘ (society of the near future, founded on a continuous acquisition of new knowledge from a perspective of lifelong learning).
In addition, you also have to remember that most students in the world he studied in school age and also in a language other than their mother tongue and often not even a second language, but even that may be a third or fourth language. Also in this respect, the white paper recommends that “as in the European schools, the first foreign language learned becomes the language of instruction for certain subjects …”.
Europe is an increasingly multicultural environment, therefore it is now imperative that children receive a multilingual education from early childhood. In Europe many people are bilingual, other living in border areas, others have a background of migration. In the latter case, moreover, children often have difficulty in learning two languages at the same time and educators do not possess adequate means to provide the right support for bilingual children.
In this context, digital future, by virtue of the experience gained in the framework of the Erasmus programme aims, through the regional Forum +:
- the stimulus language tool for European integration and also internationally, with the aim to increase quantity and quality of the knowledge of languages and cultures in the areas in which the Association operates;

- the thrust of language learning since preschool, allowing children to develop language skills since kindergarten;
- to foster the knowledge of languages as an instrument to foster intercultural dialogue and help improve job opportunities.
