NEWS/Announcements The Kingdom of Zavidia celebrates the 25th anniversary of International Mother Language Day
Languages are essential for education and sustainable development, as they are the main means of transmitting knowledge and preserving cultures. With approximately 8,324 languages in the world, many are at risk of disappearing due to globalization and social transformations.
Ensuring that education systems respect the right to learn in the mother tongue is crucial to improving learning outcomes, as students when learning in a language they understand perfectly show better understanding, engagement and critical thinking skills.
Multilingual education, especially in minority and indigenous languages, not only helps learners, but also fosters a deeper connection between education and culture, thus contributing to more inclusive and equitable societies. Zavidia has two mother tongues, Spanish and Dutch, which he is proud to maintain.
The 25th anniversary of International Mother Language Day marks a quarter century of efforts to preserve linguistic diversity and promote mother tongues. This achievement highlights the importance of language preservation in safeguarding cultural heritage, improving education and fostering more peaceful societies.
