A sign of a good conference is when you come away afresh, with new ideas & feeling more hopeful about the world. And after #BAAL2025 I do!!

I’m at the #baal2025 conference at @uofglasgow.bsky.social . Lots of the sessions are taking place in the GU Union, and I’m getting flashbacks to my undergrad years. I’m pretty sure I saw the Tom Robinson Band here back in the day.

Languages carry history, identity & knowledge.

Yet 40% of learners are not taught in their mother tongue.

Join us on #MotherLanguageDay to support multilingual #education worldwide & ensure all children can learn in their own language.
