UN Language Celebrations
The UN’s International Mother Language Day was celebrated on February 21st, with this year’s theme being “Using Technology for Multilingual Learning: Challenges and Opportunities.” This fits in well with the UNESCO International Decade of Indigenous Languages, running 2022-2032. There are several resources the UN offers to support these celebrations, including:
- UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger
- Global Digital Library
- Translate A Story
- Initiative B@bel
- Living Heritage and Mother Languages Publications
- Intangible Heritage
