What does it mean to grow up speaking more than one language? How do languages shape our identity, our sense of belonging and the way we connect with others?

Join a panel of young adults for a conversation about multilingualism in everyday life and the experiences of growing up in a multicultural society. Drawing on personal stories and diverse perspectives, the discussion will explore the opportunities, challenges and connections that come with living between languages and cultures.
