Where Do We Need To Go From Here?
Conference and training sessions
Berlin & Online, 3-7 October 2022
2022 marked the beginning of the UNESCO International Decade of Indigenous Languages, which offers an important opportunity to join forces in supporting small languages, further develop practices and tools, and extend and strengthen the networks we all rely on.
This conference, organized jointly by PARADISEC (Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures) and ELAR (Endangered Languages Archive), brought together people working in the field of language documentation and archiving to present papers and conduct training sessions aiming to develop capacity, present new approaches to documentation and preservation, and offer models of how we can create, strengthen, enhance, and amplify language records.
