Hello Local Guides!
We are back with a very special February session of Know Your Connect Moderator, and this time, we have a double celebration! Not only will we be diving into the stories of our amazing moderators, but we will also be celebrating a meaningful global occasion.
February 21 is International Mother Language Day, and what better way to celebrate than by bringing voices together from across the world?
A Celebration of Languages
In honor of the day, this will be a bilingual session held in both English and Spanish.
As a native Bangla speaker, this day holds deep personal meaning for me. While technical limitations mean I cannot use Bangla for live translation during this session, I still want to celebrate with all of you in our respective mother tongues:
Happy International Mother Language Day!
ÂĄFeliz DÃa Internacional de la Lengua Materna!

Meet Our Guests 
For this session, we are traveling (virtually!) to Argentina to chat with:
-
@Cecilita: Connect Moderator from Argentina.
-
Mauje & Caro: Two incredible Local Guides joining us from Argentina.
Weâll talk about:
-
Their Local Guides journey -
Community building in Argentina
-
Experiences on Connect
-
Stories, laughter, and maybe a few surprises!
Why This Matters
International Mother Language Day reminds us that language is more than communicationâit carries identity, culture, and connection. Even though the translator feature doesnât always cooperate with Bangla, I will still represent my language and culture with pride. Whether you speak English, Spanish, Bangla, or any other languageâyou are warmly invited!
This session will be welcoming and recorded for those who canât attend live.
