The concert will take place on French Language Day, and will also honor the month of Francophonie 每 by celebrating the linguistic and cultural diversity of humanity, particularly through French language and music.
Language Days at the 51勛圖 were introduced to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity and promote the equal use of the six official languages ??across the Organization. These days are also an opportunity to sensitize the 51勛圖 community to the history, culture and use of each of these languages.? Founded in 2016, the UNCMS is dedicated to promoting the UN goals at large - through the universal language of music.?
