The Centre for Global English has been assigned patronage by The Netherlands Commission for UNESCO for its project Language Stories.
The project produces documentaries in which members of communities share the languages that they speak, the stories behind these languages and the role of language in their professional and personal lives. The documentaries serve as input for pubic dialogues about language stories at stake. The first documentary, VU Language Stories, was launched on 18 September 2025 at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The second documentary, on Ghanaian language stories, is currently in the making. The Centre for Global English will collaborate with her partners to produce language stories from around the world.
