\u00a0This year, for the first time, Stellenbosch University (SU) joins the <\/span><\/span>EUTOPIA Alliance<\/span><\/span> Languages Week from 4 to 8 March 2024 to celebrate <\/span><\/span>languages, <\/span>culture<\/span> and diversity<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>EUTOPIA<\/span> Alliance<\/span><\/a> is an international gateway for exchanging knowledge and culture, and SU is one of six global partner universities <\/span>EUTOPIA<\/span> associates with beyond its core alliance of 10 universities in Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Institutions across the world are participating in EUTOPIA Languages Week, creating an opportunity for staff and students from all EUTOPIA partners to attend online events all over the world during that week, and to interact with each other.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

At SU, Languages Week takes place in person, online and in hybrid format, with a rich variety of activities across many SU departments.<\/span> Events belong to one of four categories: <\/span>Films, Flex, Language Learning and Talks. Films<\/strong> include film evenings showcasing films in Afrikaans and Mandarin, while Flex<\/strong> represents interactive and fun events where you get to put your multilingual abilities to work in a social setting, such as the Language Caf\u00e9 and Multilingual Karaoke events.\u00a0 Language Learning<\/strong> does what it says: here you can get the feel of a language you might like to explore a bit, from isiXhosa to South African Sign Language. Talks<\/strong> give you access to experts sharing gripping phenomena in language, culture, literature, translation, multilingualism and even in the international language policy arena. Scroll through our <\/span>programme<\/span><\/a> to read more!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All events are free to attend to SU staff and students and to all EUTOPIA Alliance partners. Registration links are available in the programme. Please register to secure your spot, and venue info and links to join online will be sent after registration. If you change your mind after having registered, do let us know so that we can open that spot to someone else, or to avoid us preparing for you unnecessarily.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coordinated by the <\/span>SU Language Centre<\/span><\/a>, Languages week at SU promises to be an exceptional event. Join the celebration of <\/span>languages, culture and diversity along with like-minded people across the world! <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
