Strengthening First Nations Languages
The Sector Strengthening team is continuing their collaboration with the language network across Australia, planning to co-host 25 in-person consultation workshops in their various regions in 2025.
The workshops are an opportunity to capture valuable insights, experiences and data that will help shape the Languages Sector Strengthening Plan.
We deeply appreciate the time and knowledge shared by each language network and their communities and look forward to continuing these important conversations and workshops.
The team’s most recent and upcoming visits are to communities in the Northern Territory, Western Australia and regional NSW.
Stay tuned for updates as we progress with this work! More information is available on our website under the Projects section.
An artwork to represent these important discussions and activities has been created by Jewel Robinson called ‘Connecting spirit through language’.
The painting represents the language centres, programs and communities around Australia working with FLA. The middle yellow represents Creator and the connecting of all spirit. The blue represents cleansing and renewal. The black circles are strengthened communities through holding the language. The yellow ochre circles represent the land holding the knowledge and the resources of language. The small white circles represent the communities thriving with their language.
