03/05: Stories of Language and Life: A Screening of Digital Stories by Language Champions Around the World

Join the Endangered Languages Project and language champions around the world for a screening of digital stories that explore the links between language, life, memory, and community. These short films share the real-life experiences of people working to revitalize and reclaim their languages, offering deeply personal reflections on their relationship to their languages, and sharing the motivations, challenges, and joys in their language work.

This screening will showcase digital stories created by language champions who participated in a digital storytelling workshop held by the Endangered Languages Project and facilitated by StoryCenter in 2024. We invite you to come hear their stories, and find inspiration and possibilities for your own language work. The event is open to all, and free of charge. An informal reception with light refreshments will be held before the screening.

This event will be taking place the day before ICLDC 9 begins on the UH Mānoa Campus in Bilger Hall room 152 from 5-7:30pm. The reception will be held in the courtyard from 5-6pm and the film screening and Q&A will be held from 6-7:30pm.
