Meeting Description:

Language plays a vital role in our societies that are more and more shaped by
communication and information, and Africa is no exception. As languages
provide the framework for interpreting the world, African languages can
contribute tremendously to our understanding of how people communicate and how
language structures this interaction. Only by using African languages in all
spheres of social life in African societies does communication become
inclusive and information truly accessible to all and lead to reducing 
inequality and establishing  sustainable societies. African linguistics has a
key role to play in helping to bring this about.
