About the event
Description: Linguapax Asia 24 is held in the world’s first nuclear bombed city. The symposium
highlights the role of languages in building peace, preventing war and promoting conflict resolution.
Linguapax Asia promotes linguistic tolerance and language diversity. Multilingualism and plurilingualism
enable engagement, foster public enlightenment and promote inclusive societies. Language can also be
an agent of social division, discrimination and micro-nationalisms.
Possible themes include:
▪ language in nationalism, national and regional conflict
▪ language and well-being
▪ migration and language
▪ language as a means of conflict resolution
▪ the language and metaphors of war
▪ language in community integration
▪ the role of indigenous languages in peace and national development
▪ language learning as a means of peace education
