Korean Together We Can Change the World

Students sing in Korean at ISB all-school assembly on September 21, 2017.

Today the ISB student body and faculty marked the International Day of Peace with an all-school assembly. The theme of our assembly this year was Together: Many Languages, One Voice, and the community celebrated multilingualism. ISB students speak about 40 different languages.

As part of the assembly, participants viewed a film of many students, PreK through Grade 12, speaking in their mother tongues. In one portion of the film, written translations of Together appeared in most of the languages represented on the ISB student body. 

How many ways can you write Together? This list may add to your answer.
