Speaking for Change. Speaking about Change

Language plays a fundamental role in shaping societal change. It influences how we understand sustainability, engage in democratic processes, and communicate ideas that drive collective action. The CLADES Conference 2025 brings together researchers, educators, students, and professionals to explore the intersection of Critical Language Awareness, Democratic Engagement, and Sustainability.

This Book of Abstracts presents the diverse range of contributions that will be discussed during the First Clades Conference. From academic research and practical case studies to interactive workshops and serious games, these works reflect an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and highlighting the impact of language on social transformation, environmental responsibility, and democratic future.
