International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.

This year's UNESCO 2024 International Mother Language Day theme being 

“PEACE Begins With Languages”

our Home Languages Department, as well as our G11 HLP-ers planned out amazing activities celebrating and promoting awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity. 

To end off the joyous week, UWCSEA celebrated UNESCO International Mother Language Day by having our very UWC World Vision Song Contest (inspired by Eurovision) which took place on 23 February 2024.  Students represent their country and culture by singing in their Home Language and dressing up in their cultural clothes.
