During this talk hosted for the European Day of Languages, Drs Fransiska Louwagie and Clémence O’Connor (University of Aberdeen) will discuss Aberlangs, a partnership initiative supporting multilingualism and the presence of home, heritage and community languages in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Promoting Aberdeen as a City of Languages which celebrates multilingualism as a positive force within the city and its broader surroundings, the initiative aims to bring together researchers in languages, linguistics, cultures and societies from the University of Aberdeen with a broad range of local and regional stakeholders and rightholders. Cities of languages build on the idea that languages learning and the value of home, heritage and community languages (of Scottish as well as wider origins) are an asset to both individuals and collectives. The project draws on the unique cultural and international heritage of the North East of Scotland and offers a platform to celebrate multilingualism in its communities.
