International Mother Language Day celebrates the diversity of all languages used by peoples of the world. It seeks to preserve and protect linguistic diversity, and promote unity and understanding through multiculturalism and multilingualism.
As part of our Human Libraries Event, come down to Pearl Cove Library and share a 20 minute conversation with one of our eight "Living Books" and learn more about growing up and living in a multilingual household and being part of a multicultural community.
Our Books, chosen from Pearl Cove's own diverse community, will open up on their struggles and achievements faced while being part of Australian society and their approach to maintaining ties to their cultural backgrounds.
