Inclusion and equity tops agenda as ECA celebrates Spanish Language Day

Abstract

In an effort to promote cultural exchange and mutual learning among civilizations, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa celebrated Spanish Language Day on April 26 at the Commission’s headquarters in Addis Ababa. The pomp and fanfare event offered a variety of spaces in which interaction was encouraged to ask and learn about the rich Hispanic culture, language, and the importance of multilingualism to preserve linguistic and cultural traditions while also fostering harmony and peace.
