Bilingualism means an understanding of language freedom.
Bilingualism means the choices we make, today and tomorrow,about the languages we can use in society.
Language diversity works. It works for society.
Linguapax is committed to building a gateway to the recognition of bilingualism and the life of all bilingual people.
We made a new photo gallery of symposium 2018.
