What is Language Access and Why is it Important in Our Community?

Language is more than words. Through visuals, we can learn more about our languages and why they matter. In this interactive collage-making workshop, attendees will learn what language access means, why it matters, and how we as a community can better support multilingual speakers. You will hear stories about the value of language and create your own collage illustrating what you learned.

This workshop will be facilitated by Valentina Sierra Niño, Erika Herhández Cuevas, Laura Gonzales, and Robin Lewy. We are partnering with the Rural Women’s Health Project, Language Access Florida, and Intérpretes y Promotores Interculturales to host this program.

This event is sponsored in part by Visit Gainesville/Alachua County, FL and by the Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Council of the Arts and Culture, and the State of Florida.
