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, which makes 2024 its 10th anniversary!

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.

Multilingual Month is coming soon. Tell us about your event by 31.1.2025 with this form.

Hyvää Maailman runouden päivää 21.3.! Vaikka Satakielikuukausi päättyy virallisesti tänään, monikielisyys ja äidinkielten rikkaus näkyy läpi Suomen erilaisten kohtaamisten, keskustelun, projektien, taiteen ja yhdessä tekemisen kautta.

Happy World Poetry Day 21.3.! Although this year’s Bilingual Month is coming to its end, multilingualism and the richness of mother tongues is seen throughout Finland in various encounters, discussions, projects, art and togetherness.
