MDPI International Mother Language Day Webinar 2023
Welcome from the Chair
In order to commemorate International Mother Language Day 2023 (https://www.un.org/en/observances/mother-language-day), MDPI is launching a special webinar to encourage researchers to join together, take action, and raise awareness as to how the exchange of findings facilitates efforts for multilingual education.
Languages, with their complex implications for identity, communication, social integration, education and development, are of strategic importance for people and planet. To promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism requires the rapid exchange of knowledge across different boundaries. We aim to encourage connection and collaboration among multilingual researchers and the international open access community.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at the International Mother Language Day Webinar 2023. Please find below an up-to-date outline of presenters.
