About the RLN

In an increasingly globalised market, English is no longer enough

The Regional Language Network East Midlands was established in May 2004, to help businesses and organisations in the region break down language and cultural barriers to international communication.

Our aims

to be the central point of contact in the region for information and support on all things language and culture related
to show East Midlands businesses that they can increase exports and improve their performance in international markets by developing a successful foreign language and cultural strategy
to raise skills levels in the workplace by showing business and individuals the benefits of using foreign languages and being culturally aware
to raise awareness of the importance of foreign languages and intercultural skills in schools, businesses and other regional organisations
to help language service providers to get the most our of their profession
to create FREE resources and provide FREE advice and support to help with all of the above

In these we are fully supported by our regional Partners East Midlands Development Agency, the Learning and Skills Council and UK Trade and Investment.

Call us to discuss your language and cultural needs on 01332 826432.
