Kununurra Workshop Oct 2018

Training Director Emma and Trainer Andrew returned to Kununurra in early October for another workshop with the language workers and the Language Nest Team at Mirima Dawang Woorlab-gerring (MDWg), the Miriwoong language centre. It was fantastic to see the Miriwoong Language Nest go from strength to strength, and all the terrific projects the language workers are involved in. Everybody worked hard on putting together a group presentation about the work that the language centre does and its importance to the Miriwoong people and the wider community. On the last day of the workshop they presented to other language centre staff and other special guests from out of town, sharing their stories and experience about working hard to preserve Miriwoong language and tradition. We also tried out some fun new language immersion games – incidentally learning a bit of Spanish along the way – that the Language Nest team might try out next time they’re taking Miriwoong language into the schools around Kununurra. Warany!
