Birri Gubba Online Training

Living Languages Trainer, Mandy Davis started online training sessions with Birri Gubba woman Marie Dennis in February last year. Marie grew up knowing only single words in Birri Gubba and had limited resources; a Birri Gubba word list and a handful of other resources passed on to her, from family members. Her ambition was to learn the pronunciation of words and understand the grammar to make sentences, so she could be able to teach her family members, and use more Birri Gubba language in song, dance, and ceremonies.

Paper & Talk 2023

The Living Languages team, in partnership with AIATSIS, had the pleasure to offer another Paper & Talk workshop in October!

We brought people from 7 language groups to Canberra to search and retrieve their language materials from the archives at AIATSIS and National Library Australia. The groups also received training to help them to interpret those materials and use them in their language work. It was a massive two weeks for Mob to search the archives, followed by a very special on-Country trip with our Ngunnawal hosts.
