Description:
Latin America is a region of high linguistic and cultural complexity,
whose diversity not only shapes a pluri-identity but also reflects
tensions and inequalities stemming from historical processes of
marginalization and colonialism. At the same time, this diversity
provides fertile ground for promoting dialogue, critical reflection,
and the development of strategies that foster linguistic justice and
inclusion in various spheres of social, educational, and political
life.
Within the framework of the research project C5703, and in
collaboration with the Esperantist Studies Foundation (ESF) and the
Centro de Esploro kaj Dokumentado pri Mondaj Lingvaj Problemoj (CED),
the Institute for Linguistic Research (INIL) is organizing the
workshop Language Policy and Language Planning, whose central theme is
“Languages ​​in Latin America and their challenges in the 21st
century.”
The workshop is conceived as an international forum dedicated to the
critical discussion of language policy and planning in Latin America,
fostering scholarly exchange and interdisciplinary dialogue where
researchers, educators, and specialists can share experiences, compare
theoretical and practical approaches, and explore solutions that
recognize and strengthen linguistic diversity as an indispensable
social and cultural resource.
As part of the workshop activities, the Nitobe 2026 Symposium will be
held, an international forum promoted by the CED, whose purpose is the
development of linguistic democracy and linguistic rights. The
symposium’s central theme will be Linguistic Justice and
Institutionality in Latin America. The workshop will take place from
August 3 to 7, 2026, and will offer simultaneous translation services
to facilitate participation of the attendants
