The Center for the Study of Language and Society, in collaboration with the Landesmuseum Zürich, is organizing a public event on how linguistic diversity can be both a resource and an obstacle in Swiss society. Through a series of interactive activities and short presentations, we discuss the kinds of linguistic obstacles that people face and consider the different strategies they adopt to overcome them. The goal of the event is to enable a dialogue about the role that language can play in making Switzerland a more inclusive society.
