GISPB’s 2023 Language Day is right around the corner! This year we are inviting the students to use a global mindset to think about the different ways that people communicate with each other. Our learning community has much linguistic diversity and if we humbly attempt to understand one another then we can learn to appreciate how every language and culture is special in their own way. Together we can create a world where all languages, accents and dialects are respected, valued and cared for.

GISPB 的 2023 年語言周即將來臨！今年，我們將邀請學生使用全球思維來思考人們相互交流的不同方式。我們的學習社區有很多語言多樣性，如果我們謙虛地去理解彼此，那么我們就能學會欣賞每種語言和文化的獨特之處。我們可以共同創造一個所有語言、口音和方言都受到尊重、重視和關心的世界。
