As part of the celebrations for Year of the Manx Language we are hosting an "UNESCO International Mother Language Day" multi-cultural celebration of community languages found here on the Isle of Man.
Our family friendly afternoon aims to bring together as many languages and cultures as possible to network, exchange language and learn some easy Manx!
We are delighted to be joined by representatives from Greece, Ukraine, The Philippines, South Africa, Bulgaria, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Lithuania and of course the Isle of Man! We hope many more nationalities will call in to say hello!
