Wednesday 11th May

Puliima Day 1

Thursday 12th May

Puliima Day 2

Friday 13th May

Optional Events:


Indigenous Linguists Forum


Focus Workshops

The aim of the Puliima Forum is to bring together people from all over Australia and overseas who are involved in Indigenous language projects and communities to share skills and information on the use of a wide range of technology to support their work. The event showcases a variety of production tools, models and programs that support content production in a range of mediums (sound, multi-media, image and print) and enables community users to experience them first hand. It incorporates knowledge of linguistics, educational programs and teaching methodologies as well as legal, moral and cultural aspects of community language project development.
The 2011 Puliima Forum will run over three days, and will include as an Australian first, a separate forum for Indigenous linguists, of which we are pleased to say there is a growing number. We aim to allow the participants to share their experiences and draft proposals to support employment initiatives, at the same time establishing a supportive network for ongoing contact.
This will be the third Puliima Forum, with the conference having been held in Newcastle in 2007 then Melbourne in 2009 with over 200 people expected to attend the 2011 Forum.
We are thrilled to be hosting Puliima 2011 once again and we encourage you to participate to explore and share the many ways in which language is either being revitalised or preserved in your area.
