Hosted by SCILT, in partnership with Education Scotland, this online knowledge exchange event will provide an opportunity to explore how we amplify, support and further the rights of Scotland’s youth: their right to retain, use and learn spoken and signed languages in their families, communities, schools and beyond.

Participants will be welcomed by Shirley-Anne Somerville MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, followed by keynote speaker Bernardette Holmes MBE, Campaign Director of Speak to the Future, a national campaign to advance language capability in the UK
The event is open to local authority representatives, teachers and the wider languages community.
