- Foster language accessibility and #diversity
- Organise AIIC's 70th anniversary later this year

On to an update from CACL with Nazan Kiziltan (here presenting the rest of the team) and an interactive quiz to see how much we know about the language admission procedures 😅

The pressure is on!

Fun facts about AIIC 😉
- AIIC has 23 regions
- You can join as a member or a pre-candidate
- You can apply directly as a candidate
- Pre-candidates can attend AIIC meetings but are not allowed to eat snacks (checks notes) ahem, *don't have voting rights* 😜

#1nt #PRIMSinDublin
More!
- There is no day requirements for pre-candidates
- SPONSORS are active AIIC members for at least 5 years vouching for a membership application
- PRESENTERS are active AIIC members presenting a pre-candidate application (you need 3)

#1nt #PRIMSinDublin
It's great to see CACL has a contagious sense of humour 😉

By the way, the CACL regulation contains all the answers to these burning questions and more!

"It's important to understand sustainability as a verb and not a noun", Prof. Lyuba Zarsky.
Sustainability isn't only about the environment, it also involves social aspects as well as governance.
Sustainability is everywhere. It's a good time to find partners interested in reducing their own impact.

Hello from #PRIMSinDublin! 👋

We're listening to Prof. Ciarán Mac Murchaidh from @DCU at the 'Hiberno English' workshop organised together with @itia_ireland @aiic_uk at @tcddublin

Did you know? The Normans first brought #English to Ireland in the 12th century

They were native French speakers but their entourage - mainly consisting of people belonging to the lower strata of society - actually spoke English

#1nt Image
By the 1800s, #Irish was starting to decline. We lack reliable data to fully grasp what was happening, however.

In 1851, the national census canvassed language for the very first time. And to respondents, #English was associated to literacy and progress in life
