Global Languages Day

at Dokk1

On September 17th, we celebrated language diversity at the Global Languages Day event at DOKK1.

The day included insightful talks and an engaging roundtable discussion highlighting similarities and differences among languages and regions around the world.

Participants also had a chance to sample both languages and snacks from different countries and regions, including Arabic, Chinese, French, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian.

The event concluded with a lively showcase of music and cultural expression, with the rapper Fætter Anders.

With recent talks of possibly shutting down all programs featuring non-European languages at Aarhus University, Global Languages Day was a reminder of the importance of knowledge about language and culture in a globalized world.

Thank you to everyone who participated—we look forward to the next event!
