After a decade of academic research, our founder, Dr Francesca La Morgia, realised it was time to share positive messages about bilingualism with parents and professionals. This vision led to the founding of Mother Tongues in 2017.
As Ireland’s first organisation of its kind, our mission is to promote a more inclusive approach to language and culture. For the past eight years, we have developed programmes and partnerships across the arts, culture, and education sectors. Through advocacy, education and the arts, we empower communities to celebrate cultural identity and break down barriers that lead to racism and social isolation.
