The 2025 edition of World Arabic Language Day explores how innovation and inclusion can shape the future of the Arabic language. Under the theme “Innovative Pathways for Arabic: Policies and Practices for a More Inclusive Linguistic Future”, the celebrations will spotlight how education, media, technology, and public policy are driving more accessible, dynamic, and socially responsive uses of Arabic. Closely aligned with UNESCO’s MOST Programme, the theme reflects a commitment to inclusive, evidence-based approaches to social development.
In an era of rapid digital transformation, this year’s focus highlights initiatives that expand Arabic’s presence across education systems, digital platforms, and public discourse, especially in multilingual or under-resourced communities. By showcasing forward-looking and cross-sector practices, the 2025 celebrations aim to promote linguistic equity, empower diverse communities, and ensure Arabic remains a vibrant, adaptable language rooted in its rich cultural heritage.
This celebration unites a wide range of voices, strengthening cultural connections and shared values. Organized in close partnership with the Permanent Delegation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to UNESCO, and generously supported by the Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Foundation, this event highlights UNESCO’s commitment to celebrating linguistic diversity and promoting cultural appreciation worldwide.
