THE POWER OF LANGUAGE

How do languages shape people and cultures and the way we see things?
We are curious to find out what students know about other cultures through language learning and if it changes their perception of their own culture.

Congratulations to the Winners!

"Language shape people and allows us to express ourselves.
They can shape the way we think and approach life.
Passing on our traditions and maintaining our relationship with our roots.
When we are eager to ask and learn, it can change how we think and see the world."

Thank you for all the submissions
