The festival offers free activities in schools, community spaces and at the University of Leeds, inspiring people of all ages to embrace multilingualism, explore new languages and celebrate the cultural tapestry that surrounds us. The initiative is led by by Bettina Hermoso-Gómez and Sofia Martinho, working alongside Professor Emma Cayley, Head of the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies at the University of Leeds, and supported by the Arts and Humanities Outreach Team.In November 2024, we delivered a week-long programme of events that brought together children, young people, families and the wider community through creative workshops, performances, competitions and interactive sessions. This year Leeds City of Languages will return as a two week-festival running from 10th - 24th of November, continuing to shine a light on the many voices and stories that make Leeds a truly global city.The rich and diverse programme of activities is brought to life through the generous support of our local, regional, national and international partners, who contribute their expertise, time and resources to enrich the lives of children, young people and communities throughout Yorkshire. Now in our third year, we’re expanding our programme and deepening our collaborations, thanks to an ever-growing network of committed partners." } ] } ] ```
