Linguapax is a non-governmental organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion linguistic diversity worldwide. It was created in 2001 to give continuity to a series of workshops and international meetings focused on the promotion of plurilingual education. Its main aim, synthesized in its name, is to rally linguistic communities worldwide around the belief that languages, as essential vehicles of identity and cultural expression are inseparable from the goals peace and intercultural understanding. Linguapax develops activities along three major lines: consultations to state and substate language policy makers, collaboration in language revitalization and standardization projects on behalf of minority language communities; and elaboration of teaching materials advocating the values of linguistic and cultural diversity. Linguapax has its headquarters in Barcelona.
