Thought of 

the week

This week our attention goes to 

International Mother Language Day.

"International Mother Language Day recognizes 

that languages and multilingualism can 

advance inclusion, and the Sustainable Development 

Goals’ focus on leaving no one behind. 

UNESCO believes education, based on the first 

language or mother tongue, must begin from the 

early years as early childhood care and education 

is the foundation of learning.

The theme of the 2022 International Mother 

Language Day, “Using technology for multilingual 

learning: Challenges and opportunities,” raises 

the potential role of technology to advance 

multilingual education and support the 

development of quality teaching and 

learning for all. (…)"

Thought of

the week

“Love is a condition in which 

the happiness of another person

is essential to your own.” 

                                      Robert Heinlein

To celebrate friendship, love,  family, life we don't really need 

a special day. 

Every moment is important!  On St.Valentine's day all this is 

remembered and celebrated of course. 

Let us express our love for family, friends, and of course, our significant other.

Have (a) wonderful and lovely day(s).

Thought of 

the week

“The ability to read, write, and analyse; 

the confidence to stand up and 

demand justice and equality; 

the qualifications and connections 

to get your foot in the door

and take your seat at the table — all of that starts with education.” 

Michelle Obama

Curiosities

Do you know that …?

- "Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated in United States and Canada on  February 2nd each year?

What is Groundhog Day All About?

In weather lore, if a groundhog, also known as a 

woodchuck or marmot, emerges from its burrow 

on this day and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon 

end. If on the other hand, it is sunny and the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog 

will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue

for 6 more weeks. (…)"
