Regional and International Capacity Development Programs

There is a growing number of organisations providing professional training for language maintenance practitioners. This page lists both national and international training programs. Contact RNLD if you have a relevant workshop or training program which you would like to add to this site.

 

The Documenting and Revitalizing Indigenous Languages (DRIL) Program has been created by RNLD to support the long-term maintenance of Australian Aboriginal languages. DRIL offers a new training method to Aboriginal people who are working with their own language or who want to start working with their language.

 

The Consortium on Training in Language Documentation and Conservation fosters collaboration among people who are engaged globally in training in language documentation and conservation.
