Young Champions at Puliima National Indigenous Languages and Technology Forum

First Languages Australia was once again delighted to be able to support a group of young language champions to attend both the Ma Wal and the Puliima Forum in Cairns in October.

In a plenary session, the group of dedicated and enthusiastic young language workers each gave a presentation on the work they are doing to increase the use of their languages.

The presentations were inspirational and heart-warming, bringing tears to the eyes of many.
