Culture and Communication (GLECC2026) <\/strong>is going to be held 28-30 July, 2026, Manchester, UK.<\/p><p>The past two decades have witnessed remarkable advancements in the studies into Education, Second and Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Cultural Studies, and Communication. This growth, evident in both the number of active researchers and the volume of scholarly throughput and outcomes, can be largely attributed to the forces of globalisation. Consequently, adopting the globalisation perspective is timely and provides a natural framework for connecting these diverse yet interlinked disciplines.<\/p><p>GLECC2026 aims to bring together researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers from the realms of education, foreign and second languages, cultural studies, translation, interpreting, and communication to disseminate research outcomes, share insights, discuss findings, exchange visions, and identify challenges and trends in an interactive and immersive multidisciplinary environment.<\/p><p>This conference, notwithstanding the dissemination of works within individual and traditional discipline specified scopes, endeavours to break the subject silos. Papers and other contributions in Education, Second and Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Cultural Studies, or Communication, as well as contributions crossing the borders of traditional disciplines or emerged from frontier research, are welcome.<\/p><p>The conference is organised by AT Publishing in association with its four journals namely, <span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; background-color: transparent;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/recap.at-journals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research in Education Curriculum and Pedagogy: Global Perspectives (RECAP) [ISSN: 2977-1633]<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/jsl.at-journals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Perspectives on Languages (NPL) [ISSN: 3033-490X]<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/ijceti.at-journals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The International Journal of Chinese and English Translation &amp; Interpreting (IJCETI) [ISSN: 2753-6149]<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hass.at-journals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recent Advances in Humanities Arts and Social Sciences (HASS) [ISSN: 2978-1345]<\/a>.

Nestled in the northwest of the UK, this buzzing metropolis is a bold blend of industrial grit, pop culture glitz, and a passion for progress. Back in the day (18th to early 20th century), it was the ultimate powerhouse of innovation, science, and social revolutions. From free trade to the women\u2019s suffrage movement, Manchester didn\u2019t just follow the trend \u2013 it set them.<\/p><p>Fast-forward to the 20th century, and the city cranked the creativity dial to 11. Think iconic bands, indie record labels, jaw-dropping graphic design \u2013 all jamming together in the edgy Northern Quarter. And let\u2019s not forget the football \u2013 with Manchester United and Manchester City both having legendary runs in the 70s and 90s, this city is a dreamland for sports fans.<\/p><p>In the 21st century, Manchester got a glow-up. Shiny new skyscrapers, a booming city centre, and a flood of new residents turned it into one of the coolest places to be. It\u2019s home to the biggest student population in any European city \u2013 so you\u2019ll always find good vibes, buzzing cafes, and something going on around every corner.<\/p><p>Need a break from the urban energy? Nature is just around the bend. In just 30 minutes, you can be in the stunning Peak District National Park. Picture quaint villages, cricket on the green, fell running, and the quirky charm of Morris dancing. And in summer, it\u2019s a wildlife lover\u2019s paradise \u2013 look out for deer, curlews, grouse, and pheasants!<\/p><p>Perfectly placed in the centre of Great Britain, Manchester is your launchpad to adventure. It\u2019s only 2 hours by train from London and just an hour to Northern gems like Liverpool, Sheffield, and Leeds. Fancy a trip to the historic wonders of York, Edinburgh, or Durham? Too easy.<\/p><p>Whether you&#8217;re into music, history, football, or just enjoying a good pint with new friends \u2013 Manchester\u2019s got you covered.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil Painting &#8211;From beginner to master Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
