Dear Community,


Tomorrow, on the 21th February we celebrate International Mother Language Day, introduced by UNESCO. Also, this year UNESCO actially will celebrate the 25th anniversary of International Mother Language Day, reaffirming the importance of linguistic diversity and multilingualism in fostering dignity, peace, and understanding. This milestone highlights decades of efforts to preserve mother tongues, safeguard cultural heritage, and improve education. 

The "Languages matter: Silver Jubilee Celebration of International Mother Language Day" event will underscore the urgency of accelerating progress on linguistic diversity to build a more inclusive and sustainable world by 2030. It also supports the International Decade of Indigenous Languages, emphasizing the role of languages in achieving global development goals.
