International forum on the preservation and promotion of Indigenous and Minority Languages in the North

Strengthening languages, cultures, and ways of living together

Join an international gathering where Elders, researchers, educators, community leaders and innovators from the North and beyond come together to imagine the future of Indigenous and minority languages.

Throughout this event, we will explore concrete approaches, exchange proven practices and strategies, and reflect collectively on innovative solutions to support linguistic revitalization within our communities.

Take part in this co-creation space, online or in person in Yellowknife, to strengthen connections, amplify voices, and advance the vitality of Northern languages.

Let's unite our voices and share innovative solutions to support language sustainability and growth.
Register today and be part of the movement!

Why attend the event?

The International Forum on the Preservation and Promotion of Indigenous and Minority Languages is a space for exchange, reflection, and action, bringing together experts, community actors, educators, and cultural practitioners to address the challenges faced by languages in the North and beyond.

Over two days, presentations and panels will:

• explore current linguistic revitalization issues
• examine models of intergenerational transmission
• discuss technologies and practices that foster language sustainability

More than an event, it is a unique opportunity, in person or online, to share practices, build bridges, and celebrate the cultural and linguistic diversity of the North.
