Meeting Description: 

''Languages for an inclusive world: Research and practice on the role of
language in civil society''

A festival of online events from NUI Galway and Dublin City University, 16
April-23 April 2021

In the year 2020, the world has been shaken by global challenges and by new
social forces that have dramatically changed the social and political
landscapes:

 - The COVID-19 pandemic has made clear that communicating health information
in languages that are accessible to linguistically diverse groups is essential
in the fight against the virus.

 - The Black Lives Matter movement has raised awareness on institutional
racism and the legacy of colonialism; and on the need to include language in
the debate on equity, diversity and inclusion.

Yet at the same time, NGOs, researchers and activists alike have been
overwhelmed in 2020 by pressure to respond and adapt to the reality of
COVID-19, leaving little time or opportunity to meet, listen and learn from
each other. The “Languages for an inclusive world” festival aims to create a
space where NGOs, researchers, students and activists can come together and
talk about the role of languages in building tomorrow’s world.
