International Mother Language Day is celebrated every year on 21 February and represents an important occasion to reflect on the importance of mother languages in promoting cultural diversity and linguistic multiplicity at a global level. This day was established by UNESCO in 1999 with the aim of raising public awareness of languages in danger of extinction and encouraging actions to protect minority languages. Through cultural events, educational seminars and media initiatives, the world's linguistic wealth is celebrated and the idea that each language makes a unique contribution to the cultural heritage of humanity is promoted. International Mother Language Day highlights the importance of transmitting these languages to new generations, ensuring their survival and the continuity of our planet's cultural and intellectual diversity.
