World Languages Day is an educational outreach program of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Language Institute. At World Languages Day, high school students from throughout the state of Wisconsin gather on the UW-Madison campus for an inspiring college-for-a-day experience. Through workshops focusing on storytelling, cinema, skits, cuisine, dance, music, clothing and more, students get a taste - sometimes literally - of language and cultural opportunities they might like to explore further.
