This year’s UN theme for International Day of Literacy, "Promoting multilingual education: Literacy for mutual understanding and peace" emphasizes the critical role that language plays in fostering communication and understanding among diverse cultures. Multilingual education encourages the learning of multiple languages, which not only aids in literacy but also enhances cognitive skills, cultural awareness, and social cohesion. By promoting literacy in various languages, individuals are better equipped to engage in dialogue, appreciate different perspectives, and collaborate across cultural boundaries. This approach can lead to greater empathy and respect among communities, ultimately contributing to peace and conflict resolution. Multilingual literacy ensures that diverse voices are heard and valued in an increasingly globalized world. It highlights the transformative power of education in building a more understanding and peaceful society.

📕🗓📩Happy International Literacy Day! This year, International Literacy Day will be celebrated under the theme of "Promoting multilingual education: Literacy for mutual understanding and peace". There is a pressing need to harness the transformative potential of literacy for promoting mutual understanding, social cohesion, and peace. In today’s world, in which multilingualism is a common practice for many, empowering people by adopting a first language-based, multilingual approach to literacy development and education is particularly effective for its cognitive, pedagogical, and socio-economic benefits. Such an approach can help promote mutual understanding and respect, while solidifying communal identities and collective histories.
