Welcome to Languages Week Scotland

Celebrating LWS in the wider community

We want as many children, families and communities as possible to engage with the week, and we would love to see community-based groups, arts and sports organisations, social enterprises and businesses – large and small – sharing the work they do in and with languages other than English and how this supports the theme of the Week.

SCILT has put together some ideas to support you in celebrating Languages Week Scotland in your organisation or community.

Don't forget to let us know how you celebrate Languages Week Scotland. Use the hashtag #ScotlandLovesLanguages on social media.

Celebrate languages and creativity with our series of daily challenges, posted on X by @LangsWeekScot throughout the Week. Work with your colleagues, family or friends and join in!

If you are planning an event or creating any resources, we would love to include this on our website.  Please let us know by emailing us.
