Keynote Title: “Linguistic benefits of travel abroad and its relation to the UNESCO 2030 agenda”
Abstract: Travel abroad offers unparalleled opportunities for linguistic and cultural immersion, enabling individuals to acquire and refine language skills in authentic contexts. This paper examines the linguistic benefits of travel abroad and their alignment with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly focusing on goals related to education (SDG 4) and global partnership (SDG 17). Through an interdisciplinary lens, we analyze how international mobility fosters multilingualism, enhances cross-cultural communication, and builds bridges between diverse communities.
