Promoting Peace, One Language at a Time

Here’s a good thing you need to know: International Literacy Day was celebrated last month, and this year’s theme is "Promoting Multilingual Education: Literacy for Mutual Understanding and Peace." So today, we’re speaking with Dr. Joseph Lo Bianco, an expert in all things language, to discuss how multilingual education can go beyond teaching new languages to promote mutual understanding, social cohesion, and peace.
