Languages carry history, identity & knowledge.

Yet 40% of learners are not taught in their mother tongue.

Join us on #MotherLanguageDay to support multilingual #education worldwide & ensure all children can learn in their own language.

Fresh from the mind-blowing experience of Monday's crab 'n' cod concert, we're back to thinking about humans. Can they compose, rehearse and perform an opera in just five days? Find out on Friday at the #WeekOfSound @edincollegeofart.bsky.social
