The full story
Languages Week Scotland began in 2018. The vision – to celebrate language learning and multilingualism in Scotland – was the catalyst and continues to drive the Week.
SCILT has been tasked by the Scottish Government to deliver Languages Week Scotland. The Week is directed by a steering group, comprising representatives from educational organisations, community groups, and language and cultural organisations.
2026
Languages Week Scotland 2026 will take place from 2 – 6 February and will be a week of activity across the country.
The theme for 2026 is Diverse voices, common ground, and it will be an opportunity to celebrate language learning and multilingualism in Scotland.
Languages enable us to explore our differences and appreciate our shared stories, through our many tongues, and everyone is welcome to participate in Languages Week Scotland: educational establishments, community-based groups, arts and sports organisations, social enterprises, and businesses of all sizes.
