[Edling] English Language Day - 23 April

[Francis M. Hult via Edling]

English Language Day - 23 April

English Language Day at the UN is celebrated on 23 April, the date
traditionally observed as both the birthday and date of death of William
Shakespeare. The Day is the result of a 2010 initiative by the Department
of Global Communications, establishing language days for each of the
Organization's six official languages. The purpose of the UN's language
days is to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as to
promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the Organization.
