Roundtable at the Esch Clinics – 26 June 2025, 18:30
24 Rue du Brill, Esch-sur-Alzette
What happens when your language isn’t one of the official ones? When don’t schools, hospitals, or public offices recognise how you speak or write? Around the world, language inequality affects people’s access to rights, services, and recognition. Join the discussion!
In June 2025, the international research project Redes_Ling lands in Luxembourg for a one-month programme focused on language inequality and communication technologies. The project brings together researchers, Indigenous rights organisations, and community media collectives from Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Denmark, and Luxembourg.
At the heart of the programme is a public roundtable titled “Unequal Tongues: Local Struggles for Linguistic Justice,” taking place on 26 June at 18:30 at the Esch Clinics, www.culturesofassembly.org. The event will feature representatives from Wichi Lhomet, CONAMICH, CELES-UNSAM, and Radio ARA, sharing experiences of how language affects access to education, rights, and visibility—whether in El Chaco, Buenos Aires, or Luxembourg.
The roundtable will explore how communities excluded by dominant language regimes use tools like radio, newsletters, social media, and AI translation to strengthen representation and resist marginalisation.
The Redes_Ling project is supported by the European Union and continues through 2028. The Luxembourg phase includes collaborative workshops, multilingual broadcasts, and a final public event on 28 June at Radio ARA.
