High-level Celebration of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages

December 13, 2022

Thousands connected online to celebrate the International Decade of Indigenous Languages.

125 countries and over 2,300 people joined the hybrid High-Level Celebration of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris on 13 December 2022. At UNESCO’s invitation, 16 Member States were represented at the highest level by ministers and 5 UN representatives joined the celebrations. The presence of High-Level representants reflects countries’ agreement on a common roadmap to strengthen public policies for Indigenous Peoples.
