The First World Conference on Technology, Education and Multilingualism (TECLIN17) will be held from 4th to 8th December 2017 in Buenos Aires.

It is organized by the UNESCO Chair TECLIN, in collaboration with Dail Software and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM).

The main objective of TECLIN17 is to debate and propose guidelines for the development of plurilingual societies with either minorized, minorities or under-resourced languages and their support from the sociolinguistic, legal, technological and pedagogical/educational dimensions. Social welfare must integrate the linguistic dimension and it cannot be achieved without the enhancement of so-called minorized languages, like local, regional, indigenous, and languages of the immigration which constitute the mother tongue of many speakers. Societies cannot achieve social welfare without fully articulating their linguistic rights. Technology, legal and educational frameworks constitute tools for the consecution of a plurilingual society.
