What can language learning teach us about identity, and power?

Multilingualism is a superpower. It offers significant cognitive benefits, it unlocks connections to communities through language, and it deepens our sense of connection to culture and place.

This month, we’ll learn about linguistic justice, the language preservation movement, and programs that center languages at the core of their work.
