Empowering Voices: Celebrating International Mother Language Day 2024 with a Focus on Multilingual Education for All Ages

IMCSAP – On February 21st, the world unites to celebrate International Mother Language Day, under the inspiring theme “Multilingual education is a pillar of intergenerational learning.” This day is not just about honoring the vast array of languages that enrich our global tapestry but also about recognizing the crucial role that multilingual education plays in fostering intergenerational wisdom and learning. It’s a call to action to preserve and promote the beauty of mother languages, ensuring they thrive from one generation to the next.

In today’s interconnected world, mother languages are key to inclusive education. They offer a sense of identity and belonging, while multilingual education opens doors to global understanding and cooperation. This day emphasizes the importance of linguistic diversity and encourages us to support quality education that is accessible to all, especially focusing on Indigenous peoples and those in rural areas, who are often guardians of linguistic and cultural diversity.

By celebrating #IMLD2024, we not only acknowledge the intrinsic value of mother languages but also advocate for educational systems that respect and incorporate these languages. This approach enhances learning outcomes, promotes social inclusion, and empowers communities. Let’s join hands this #21February to ensure that multilingual education stands as a robust pillar of intergenerational learning, fostering a more inclusive and linguistically diverse world.
