Multilingual Month 21.2.–21.3.

Multilingual Month is a celebration of mother tongues and multilingualism. It takes place between International Mother Language Day (21 February), and World Poetry Day and International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (21 March). Multilingualism is visible in all kinds of encounters, discussions, projects, art and shared activities.

Multilingual Month Satakielikuukausi has been celebrated in Finland since 2015.

We challenge everyone to explore the importance of mother tongues and languages in libraries, arts institutes, cultural centres, homes, schools, educational institutes and workplaces during Multilingual Month.
