Pitjantjatjara Language Initiative

[Sally Dixon]

Hi all,

I just read about this language initiative for Pitjantjatjara through  
the Reconciliation Victoria bulletin. It looks fantastic. They have  
just opened up for enrollments, so I thought I'd post the information  
as some of you might be interested in taking part in this innovative  
language and theatre experience.

Ngapartji Ngapartji - I Give You Something, You Give Me Something
Taking its name from the Pitjantjatjara concept of reciprocity and  
exchange, Ngapartji Ngapartji - I Give You Something, You Give Me  
Something - is a long term inter-generational language arts project  
based in and around Alice Springs. Members of the Pitjantjatjara  
community invite you to learn their language - one of the world’s  
oldest - through online stories, songs, animations and short films  
before seeing one of Australia’s deadliest new theatre works at the  
Melbourne International Arts Festival later this year. To find out  
more and get involved in this project visit

Best wishes to all,
