International Mother Language Day, Feb. 21, 2023

“Multilingualism contributes to the development of inclusive societies that allow multiple cultures, worldviews and knowledge systems to coexist and cross-fertilize.” - United Nations, Multilingual Education - A Necessity To Transform Education
February 21 is the official date approved by UNESCO to celebrate International Mother Language Day. This event promotes multilingualism and linguistic diversity. As a truly international school, we will have the occasion to hear and enjoy the different languages spoken at YIS through a different variety of activities. Promoting linguistic diversity is promoting different cultures. Let’s continue our daily celebration of our rich linguistic and cultural diversity at YIS.
