This international conference includes research, pedagogy and practice about the diverse languages and cultures of Indigenous and minoritized populations worldwide. The conference engages participants in a global dialogue and also serves as a forum for networking and exchanging ideas, experiences and research on language revitalization issues from interdisciplinary perspectives. In other words, its mission is to exchange different ideas and experiences that will transcend the academy walls and find space in the larger world community by giving all the participants an opening to share their multiple ways of being, seeing, knowing and learning. </span></p><font face="Times New Roman"></font><p style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";font-size:12pt">2.

Like panels, roundtable discussions are coordinated by an organizer/moderator and offer different perspectives on the proposed topic. However, rather than focusing on the presentation of individual papers, presentation time for each discussant is limited to 5-7 minutes. The majority of the session is devoted to dialogue between the discussants and the audience. </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:normal;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:6pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";font-size:12pt">In the best round tables, the speakers are aware of each other's work and views, and they refute or support those views in their own talks, there is substantive interchange, as well as the chance to go in-depth very quickly.
