Living Languages, in partnership with First Languages Australia (FLA), will be offering another Indigenous Youth Professional Development (PD) Workshop over five days in May.
We're calling out for any Indigenous language workers/teachers from around Australia, between the ages of 18-30, that are looking to up-skill themselves in any of the following areas: Linguistics, Language Teaching & Learning, Project Planning, Language Documentation and Presentations & Public Speaking.
The workshop will be 5 days long, for up to 10-12 participants who are involved in language activities within their community and are wanting to learn skills relevant to language work.
Anyone interested in joining us for the workshop – please submit an Expression of Interest form. Successful applicants will join us in Melbourne, in May 2020. We will cover your travel, accommodation and meals. Any other expenses you’ll have to cover yourself.

The Living Languages PD program aims to:
increase the professional capacity of Indigenous people engaged in language work
strengthen the participants' knowledge of linguistics, language documentation, and language revitalisation methods
develop the capacity of Indigenous language activists to become trainers and share skills with other people in families, communities and workplaces, and
help to build a professional network amongst Indigenous language activists
Working with First Languages Australia, the current PD program targets young language activists and emerging language workers and teachers.
