We have been able to deliver a range of exciting and innovative programmes and competitions to schools across the region thanks to ongoing support from the Regional Language Network North East. 
Our Language of Enterprise competition saw regional schools designing and developing a prototype of a new food product using British ingredients - and create a plan to launch their product on the European market. 
The competition follows on from EBC's successful Language of Leisure in 2009 which saw school pupils challenged to work with a business supporter from the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism sector to develop a marketing campaign for their business supporter's organisation which promoted that business to international visitors. 
EBC also has a number of programmes designed to develop young people's modern foreign language and entrepreneurial skills through challenging, engagine and innovative activities - all with clear links to the National Curriculum.
