#️⃣ #ScotlandLovesLanguages #LWS2026
Screenshot of the daily challenge for Tuesday 3 February of Languages Week Scotland 2026. Theme: Global Citizenship Language skills equip us to be effective global citizens: they give us the power to spread the word about problems and the solutions, and today’s challenge is about doing exactly that! We will be using film shorts from Take One Action, a movement that brings communities together to harness the transformative potential of film and storytelling for collective change in Scotland and beyond. Watch one of the films from this curated collection. The collection is in three sections: a) Setting the Scene – climate activism in general b) #KSBYouthClimateFilms – made by amateur film makers for the Youth Climate Films competition run by Keep Scotland Beautiful c) More – other relevant shorts What is the strongest message in this film? Create an eye-catching image or film of your own to communicate this message and make it multilingual by including dialogue or text in one or more languages besides English. Share your multilingual images and films with us. Tag @langsweekscot on Instagram or Languages Week Scotland on LinkedIn using #ScotlandLovesLanguages. Alternatively, email us for inclusion on our blog.

👀⬇️ Day 5️⃣challenge is about multilingualism is a means of connection
Screenshot of Languages Week Scotland challenge for Friday 06/02/26. Focus: Global influence and engagement. Theme: Creating ripples, making waves. Text reads: Wherever your school or organisation is located, you can bet its ripples extend far beyond the physical building! But how far is that exactly? To find out, all you need is a world map. Ask those people connected to your establishment – pupils, staff, families and community connections – to pop a pin in a world map to represent a language, culture or community they have a connection to. They might choose to put a pin in: a place with a special family connection – even better, a special language connection! a place where they love to go on holiday – maybe they have learned a few phrases of a local language! or a place whose language they speak, even if they haven’t had the chance to visit it (yet!) Take a photo of your world map see just how far around the world YOUR establishment can reach! Share your photo with us on social media using #ScotlandLovesLanguages and let’s see whose reach extends the furthest! You can use a physical map or create a digital one using a tool like Mapcutomizer or Google Maps

👀⬇️ Day 4️⃣ challenge is thinking about the ways in which multilingual populations can contribute to the development of a better world🌎
Screenshot of daily challenge for Day 4 of Languages Week Scotland 2026. Title: Contributing to the development of a better world – the same, but different “Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.” (Flora Lewis, award-winning American journalist) Learning languages is not just about words – it’s also about understanding how people see the world through their own cultural lens, and how we do too. So, learning about languages and cultures helps us to get a much clearer picture of the world we live in and that makes us stronger, better-informed, more confident people. Spin the World and pick a country (this is great fun!). Now, find out more about one of the languages or cultures of this country. Share one thing from your research with us on social media using #ScotlandLovesLanguages. You can find us on Instagram and on LinkedIn.
