This celebration marked International Mother Language Day, a day celebrated worldwide on 21 February to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. At TISA we have an extremely rich cultural diversity having over 50 different Mother Tongues throughout the school. In the run up to the day, Creative Writing Club, led by Ms Anna Sudra ran a fabulous activity Humans of TISA, which became a collaborative art piece. Each student in Secondary was asked to share part of their story.

Students began the day with a whole school activity where Primary and Secondary students came together to learn songs various languages.

Secondary students spent the rest of the day attending multiple student-led workshops run in 14 different languages: Spanish, French, Korean, Arabic dialects, Norwegian, Italian, Hindi, Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasia Indonesia, Azerbaijani, Turkish, Greek, German and one of the ethnic languages of Azerbaijan, Xinaluq. M5 Student Sami Muduroglu also organised for representatives from 6 embassies to run workshops for TISA students and some guest students from the UNHCR Centre. Thank you to the Embassies of Costa Rica, UK, Netherlands, Mexico, Tajikistan and Switzerland for participating.
