Advocating for linguistic diversity to make Europe stronger
Europe boasts a rich tapestry of linguistic backgrounds, with over 200 languages indigenous to Europe from at least 5 different language families. These languages are repositories of unique cultural identities, histories, and traditions. Preserving linguistic diversity is thus essential for safeguarding Europe's cultural heritage and promoting cultural pluralism.
As representatives of Europe's young citizens, the members of the European Youth Forum are fully committed to maintaining and strengthening the linguistic diversity that we inherited from past generations.
