SLT days & ESLA webinar series

ESLA promotes the profile and reputation of the SLT profession to the European Commission, other relevant authorities and related organisations, by publishing statements and policies advocating the value of our services for people with communication and swallowing difficulties.

The principal Advocacy activity of ESLA is our annual European Day of Speech and Language Therapy, that is always celebrated on the 6th March in recognition of the original founding Charter of CPLOL.

Each year our Member Associations feature the selected theme of communication and swallowing disorders and organise public events to raise awareness and visibility of the impact on families and the contribution of the SLT profession.

The winning poster for SLT Day 2023 was designed by our member PAL, Panhellenic Association of Speech and Language Therapists, from Greece. The following are the topics that have been announced for ESLA's European Day up to 2025.
