The attitudes of young people, families, educators and policymakers can have a profound influence on whether languages are maintained and passed on.
To celebrate the European Day of Languages 2026, ICC is bringing this important question into focus in a special webinar:

Professor Antonella Sorace of The University of Edinburgh will draw on research into heritage languages in migration contexts and indigenous languages to examine the relationship between language attitudes and intergenerational transmission.
She will also introduce the work of Bilingualism Matters and show how research can help families, teachers and policymakers make informed decisions about bilingualism and multilingualism.
