RNLD aims to advance the sustainability of indigenous languages and to increase the participation of Indigenous peoples in all aspects of language documentation and revitalisation through training, resource sharing, networking, and advocacy.
- Training— we partner with indigenous communities and organisations to build capacity in language documentation and revitalisation. Our flexible training materials and practices ensure that the skills which people gain are used, retained and shared more widely within a community.
- Train-the-trainer— we promote autonomy and sustainability through workshop methods which mentor skilled language workers in becoming trainers in linguistic documentation and revitalisation methods within their own communities.
- Advocacy— we advocate on issues such as bilingual education, indigenous literacy, language policies and recognition for Indigenous peoples, raise awareness through public events on occasions such as International Mother Language Day, and organize informal gatherings for linguists and community language activists.
