Cherish your Mother Language!
A celebration on the occasion of Mother Language Day
Join us on International Mother Language Day!
In partnership with the Division of Conference Management at the United Nations Office at Geneva, we invite you to an online event to celebrate intercultural dialogue, and the safeguarding of the diversity of mother languages around the world.
Participate in the conversation on how the UN can act for these purposes and learn more from our guest expert on endangered languages studies.
