The Indigenous language revival conference (08/08/2022-11/08/2022) offers a hands-on training to grow new fluent speakers of languages that have few fluent speakers using traditional oral intergenerational language transmission from Elders to youth.

Conference trainers and participants attend the Master-Apprentice Language Revival Conference on 8 August 2022

Hosted by the Pertame Project and Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education, this conference is facilitating international cultural connections and knowledge sharing between Native American and Indigenous Australian communities seeking to keep their languages strong.
