Abstract

Is a language barrier, the ultimate barrier? Can there still be a synergized community in spite of the different languages spoken? It is a common practice to focus on our differences rather than our similarities. It is quite popular to identify what does not work to what does. To answer the opening question, yes, we can connect with others in the face of language diversity. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals create a path to connect with people of different languages and cultures. This interactive workshop will enlighten us with ways to connect. Then participants will get a chance to create activities ideal to their institutions of learning, jobs, communities, etc, using the strategies explored in the session.
