Linguapax Asia works in partnership with the Linguapax Institute, a non-governmental organization affiliated with UNESCO and located in Barcelona, Spain. In its role as the Asian associate of the Linguapax Institute, Linguapax Asia carries out the objectives of both the Linguapax Institute and UNESCO's Linguapax Project with a special focus on Asia and the Pacific Rim. These objectives are:

• Promoting bilingual and multilingual education

• Elaborating new approaches to language instruction that facilitate intercultural understanding

• Fostering respect of linguistic diversity and linguistic heritage

• Supporting initiatives to preserve and revitalize endangered languages

• Raising awareness of the links between language, identity, human rights, and the quest for peace

Participation in Linguapax Asia activities is open to the general public as well as to those engaged in academic research.
