The Organizing Committee of Edo Language Day Worldwide is thrilled to announce the schedule of 2025 Edo Language Day (third edition) Celebration with the theme: “Voices of Our Ancestors: Preserving the Edo Linguistics Heritage.” The program aims to revive Edo Indigenous languages and dialects worldwide, and the three senatorial districts of Edo State. This includes Esan, Afemai, Ora, Etsako, and other Indigenous dialects.
This year’s program will be hosted by the Nigerian Canadian Multicultural Centre in partnership with OISE/University of Toronto. The main event is scheduled to be held in-person on August 9th in Toronto and Edo State and virtually on August 13th worldwide. The programs will take place in six locations: Toronto (Canada), Benin City, Auchi, Ekpoma, Okpella, and Ososo (Edo State, Nigeria).
