Our history
Opportunities for change amid crises: word by word, one language at a time
Hello, I am Diana, I was born and raised in Medellin, a beautiful city in Colombia, which I have seen transform from a place of danger and violence into a peaceful city that is now super friendly and touristic. I am an Engineer by trade, with a great passion for languages and social causes, which has made me want to find a way to change the world from local realities.
Ever since I was a child I have loved languages and my dream has been to be a polyglot (someone who can speak four or more languages). Along the way I had the opportunity to learn English and French, but working as a volunteer with poor communities in Medellin, I realized the widespread inequalities that still exist in my city today. I realized that there are children who do not know how to read and write in Spanish (our native language) as I was able to do at their age.
I wanted to be an active participant in changing this reality, I wanted to give back the opportunities I have received, but I did not know how. In 2018, I had a crisis at work; I received a monthly salary but my heart was empty. During this year, I remembered that I needed a language to fulfill my dream of becoming a polyglot. I decided to choose LOVE as a universal language, and thus GLOT was born as a way of giving back some of the opportunities I have had.
In 2020, going through a new crisis (this time the worldwide pandemic due to COVID-19), we re-invented ourselves and went from being a personal project to becoming a global network of cultural transfer and social impact through languages.
Today we represent many nationalities and we work together so that the power of languages reaches EVERYONE.
