The Importance of UNESCO’s International Days

International Days, including UNESCO’s Indigenous Peoples Day and International Translation Day, raise vital awareness for the preservation and digital promotion of often marginalized languages. These observances highlight the crucial role of digitization and translation in safeguarding, revitalizing, and expanding the online presence of Indigenous languages, ensuring their cultural and linguistic diversity thrives in the digital age. Our initiatives actively support these global efforts.
