UNESCO Language Policy

UNESCO's Language Policy aims to promote linguistic diversity and support the use of multiple languages worldwide. It recognizes that language is crucial for cultural identity, communication, and education. The policy encourages member countries to protect endangered languages, foster multilingual education, and ensure that everyone has access to information in their native language. By valuing all languages, UNESCO seeks to empower communities, enhance social inclusion, and facilitate understanding among different cultures, ultimately enriching global heritage and promoting sustainable development.
