The 4th edition of Hobart Language Day will celebrate language diversity in Hobart on Sunday 22 April 2018, 10 am-1 pm in Mather’s House, Bathurst St, Hobart.
In the Hobart Language Day celebration, there will be find various activities such as a workshop in different calligraphy (as Mandarin, Japanese, Farsi, etc) and handwriting sessions, and the opportunity to practice, converse and read in these and another languages than English.
This year we are focus in these other languages and alphabets that are communication tools, for that reason we will have a workshop about Auslan, Braille alphabet and mudras… “All the languages and alphabets belongs”
We will continue as every year with the reading and recitations from famous authors and poets in different languages and write your favourite word in any language, in order to, in a sense, continue with the language diversity “book” in Hobart.
All of this will occur in the middle of the World Book Day and English Language Day and Spanish Language Day, celebrations around the world.
The Hobart Language Day is an opportunity for everybody who speaks some language, to come and share their interest, value and taste for books and languages. At the same time, to show our Hobart community that together we are enriching the Tasmanian and Australian cultural landscape. The language day has support from the Hobart Council and Tasmanian Government. It’s a free and family event.
