Stamford celebrates linguistic diversity: International Mother Language Day!

Every language carries with it a unique heritage, culture, and perspective. It’s this richness of linguistic diversity that we celebrate on International Mother Language Day, a global event that resonates deeply within the Stamford community.

At Stamford, we believe in the power of languages to connect, bridge gaps, and foster understanding. That’s why, as part of this international celebration, volunteers from our Stamford community visited classrooms to share about their home languages through 40-minute language learning workshops.

It was a day all about inclusivity, embracing the myriad languages and cultures that make up Stamford’s rich culture. Adding on to our wide range of language courses available, this day brought in languages such as Japanese, Korean, Tamil, French, Spanish, Cantonese into the classrooms of our students on February 21st, 2024.

Apart from that, our volunteers received invaluable support from out Spanish, Mandarin and EAL (English as an Additional Language) teachers, who provided assistance in the classroom whenever needed. Our Our Elementary kids had a lot of fun learning about a different language through activities, stories and games.

Rounding up our recent events of diversity and inclusion with International Festival and International Mother Language Day, let’s continue to embrace linguistic and cultural diversity, where every language is heard and every culture is respected!
