The UCA hosts for the first time in Spain the VI European Meetings on Multilingualism 9 November 2022
One hundred European and African specialists and researchers met at the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts to discuss the diversity and universality of languages.
The University of Cadiz has hosted, for the first time in Spain, the 6th European Meetings on Multilingualism with the participation of a hundred experts from Europe and Africa. The rector of the UCA, Francisco Piniella, welcomed them in the aula Magna of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, together with the president of the European Observatory for Plurilingualism (OEP), Christian Tremblay, and the professors of the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF), José Carlos Herrera (Paris Cité University) and José María García Martín (Professor of Philology at Cadiz University), the representative of the French Embassy in Spain, Julie Morel, and the vice-dean of the centre, Lourdes Rubiales.
The OEP and the UCA co-organised this sixth edition, with the participation of international experts who analysed the profound issues of multilingualism and the areas of fracture, whether conceptual, cultural, mental, social or territorial. The organisers focused on the philosophical, identity and educational aspects of the subject. The European Meetings on Plurilingualism will be held in Cadiz in 2022, having previously been hosted by universities in Bucharest, Brussels, Rome, Berlin and Paris.
