Meeting Description:    The topic of the 2016 symposium is the interface
between language and migration and how the language situation, planning and
policies in various countries, Asia in particular, are managed as a result
of in-migration or out-migration. As the world refugee crisis intensifies
discussion has reopened on issues concerning the role of language in
international migration: language and new citizenship, language proficiency
policies and requirements, migration to countries of language proximity,
language change, terminologies (e.g. migrant vs refugee), language loss and
maintenance, how language shapes or influences migration. Within this
general theme, language and migration will be explored in its pedagogical,
historical, and social frameworks.

The symposium is organized by the Linguapax Asia Committee. Linguapax Asia
works in partnership with the Linguapax Institute, a non- governmental
organization affiliated with UNESCO and located in Barcelona, Spain. The
Asian associate of the Linguapax Institute, Linguapax Asia carries out the
objectives of both the Linguapax Institute and UNESCO's Linguapax Project
with a special focus on Asia and the Pacific rim. For further information
