We appeared in front of the city council and proclaimed it to be the inaugural Language Access Week, educated our community on language access, featured organizations doing the work, and held a momo (Nepali dumpling) cooking class in language of Nepali! The community was provided an interpreter and devices to experience Language Access for themselves!  We reached 10,000 people with our message.

World Speaks is excited to continue this initiative and each year we will feature a social media education campaign showcasing organizations throughout Omaha that are incorporating language access into their work with the community. The campaign will highlight stories, best practices, and examples of how language inclusion strengthens neighborhoods and expands access to critical services. 

Annually, there will be a community event that combines language access and culinary arts. See below for how you can participate and support these efforts!
