About TOCL – Translation of Cultural Languages

Translation of Cultural Languages (TOCL) was a European project coordinated by Open Cultural Center Spain, aiming to integrate cultural understanding into language education for migrants and refugees. The project recognised that language learning is closely linked to cultural context and social participation.

TOCL developed an online learning platform that combined language education with cultural content, supporting learners in navigating everyday life and social interaction in host countries. The platform was designed for use in non-formal education settings across Europe.

The project was implemented in collaboration with six partner organisations: Universidad de Almería (Spain), Mygrants (Italy), Second Tree (Greece), Yourtranslator (Greece), Synthesis (Cyprus), and ZRC SAZU (Slovenia). TOCL was co-funded by the European Union through Erasmus+.
