DESCRIPTION:\n	English Language Day\n\n\n\n	English Language Day at the 
	UN is celebrated on 23 April\, the date traditionally observed as both the
	 birthday and date of death of William Shakespeare. The Day is the result 
	of a 2010 initiative by the Department of Global Communications\, establis
	hing language days for each of the Organization's six official languages. 
	The purpose of the UN's language days is to celebrate multilingualism and 
	cultural diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six official lan
	guages throughout the Organization.\n\n\n\n	Under the initiative\, UN duty
	 stations around the world celebrate six separate days\, each dedicated to
	 one of the Organization's six official languages.\n\n\n\n	The days are as
	 follows:\n\n\n\n	Arabic (18 December)\n\n	Chinese (20 April)\n\n	English 
	(23 April)\n\n	French (20 March)\n\n	Russian (6 June)\n\n	Spanish (23 Apri
	l)\n\n	Language Days at the UN aim to entertain as well as inform\, with t
	he goal of increasing awareness and respect for the history\, culture and 
	achievements of each of the six working languages among the UN community.
	 \n\n\n\n	Multilingualism and the UN\n\n	An essential factor in harmoniou
	s communication among peoples\, multilingualism is of particular importanc
	e to the United Nations. By promoting tolerance\, multilingualism ensures 
	effective and increased participation of all in the Organization’s work\
	, as well as greater effectiveness\, better outcomes and more involvement.
	\n\n\n\n	The balance among the six official languages has been an ongoing 
	concern of the Secretary-General. Numerous activities have been undertaken
	\, from 1946 to the present\, to promote the use of the official languages
	 to ensure that the United Nations\, its goals and actions are understood 
	by the widest possible public. \n\n\n\n	In its resolution 54/64 of 6 Dece
	mber 1999\, the General Assembly invited the appointment of a senior Secre
	tariat official to serve as coordinator of questions relating to multiling
	ualism.\n\n
