International Mother Language Day
In recognition of International Mother Language Day 2019, Wolfson College has put together a video featuring students talking in their mother language. From Bengali to Hungarian, British Sign Language to Dutch, ten different languages are highlighted in this video.

Ishaare: Gestures and Signs in Mumbai (screening of film, directed by Annelies K...Tuesday 25 June - 6:30pm to 8:30pm"Ishaare" has a double meaning: both "gestures" (in Hindi and Marathi) and "signs", as such, indicating that a strict distinction between them cannot be made.
