Using a 360-degree sound system (OTTOSONIC), the project offers multilingual content to engage diverse communities and enhance literacy. International students and staff narrate stories in their native languages, fostering intercultural exchange and creativity. The initiative reflects IFLA’s digital equity goals and UNESCO’s SDG 16 by advancing access to information, preserving cultural diversity, and encouraging dialogue. Libraries emerge as inclusive spaces that reduce linguistic barriers, strengthen social cohesion, and support cultural understanding through innovative, user-centered approaches.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/InclusionBridging Cultures, Building Communities: The Role of Academic Library in Fostering Multicultural Engagement and Digital InclusionEvents MaterialLei, CatarinaChan On, Emily
