[RNLD List] (Online) Festival of Indigenous Languages, January 14-23

[Anna Belew]

Hi RNLD folks,


(Apologies for cross-posting to ILAT) Warm greetings to you all! Hope you
and your loved ones are all safe, healthy, and well.

Just wanted to share with you about an upcoming event hosted by the Endangered
Languages Project <http://endangeredlanguages.com>: the Festival of
Indigenous Languages <http://bit.ly/ELP-festival>, to celebrate the start
of the UN International Decade of Indigenous Languages. This online
festival will bring together people working in language revitalization
around the world, to share their goals and hopes for the upcoming Decade.

The Festival will run from January 14-23, completely online, and completely
free. All are welcome - please feel free to invite colleagues, friends, and
community members who are interested in language revitalization. The
Festival website has more information about the schedule and speakers, as
well as links to register for the Zoom event: http://bit.ly/ELP-festival

We’re honored that this Festival will feature an amazing group of speakers
<https://sites.google.com/endangeredlanguages.com/elp-festival/speakers>
who have done great work in language revitalization worldwide. Each speaker
will be giving a short “talk from the heart”, rather than a formal
presentation - this is a “low-key” event, meant to be accessible to
everyone, not just practitioners or scholars. These talks will share about
what's inspired and encouraged each speaker most in their past decade(s) of
work, and what they hope to see happening in language revitalization over
the next decade - to reflect on where we’ve been, and where we’re going.

There will also be an opening reception and three “open mic/coffee chat”
sessions, for more informal sharing of stories, songs, and chatting with
other language revitalization folks.

Attached is a printable flyer you can share, if you would like to spread
the word about the Festival. You can also share the Facebook event
<https://www.facebook.com/events/1585741078441576>.


We also invite anyone who is currently working in language revitalization
to share about their work, and be part of the upcoming Revitalization
Directory: http://bit.ly/ELP-directory

ELP’s social media (Facebook
<http://facebook.com/EndangeredLanguagesProject>, Twitter
<http://twitter.com/_ELProject>, Instagram
<http://instagram.com/endangeredlanguagesproject>) will be posting more
updates as we get closer to the event.

Warmest wishes for a healthy, happy, and joyful 2022 to all of you!


Anna
