The concept of "human" is evolving beyond individuals to all living things, communities, and nature. Our planet is facing unprecedented environmental challenges, with globalization now extending far beyond travel and cultural exchange to encompass issues like climate change and migration. The world's problems are global and we need a common language to find solutions, to help to protect what is alive.As educators, what role do we play in navigating these challenges? What impact can we, as teachers, have on the broader narrative? Can schools serve as catalysts for positive change?These are the critical questions we aim to explore and discuss at our conference in February. We warmly invite you to join us in this dialogue, as we investigate how the teaching of languages can contribute to shaping a brighter and more sustainable future for all.
