Billingo


Bilingo

Official languages: a fun challenge! ESDC launched a friendly competition for senior managers to encourage linguistic duality and linguistic security in the workplace. The Bilingo Challenge was a two-month period of fun activities to promote the use and practice of both official languages. Branches and regions were invited to complete a single Bilingo card on which each of the nine boxes contained a theme related to official languages. At the end of the Bilingo challenge, branches and regions were asked to submit their participation report card with a brief description of the activities organized for each of the themes on the Bilingo card. A selection committee then reviewed the entries and named the winning branch/region that stood out the most for its creativity in implementing its activities and its participation rate. Bonus points were also awarded for promotional efforts, notably through the use of Bilingo Challenge backgrounds.
