On August 22nd, 7000 Languages' Fellows were able to present their language courses and about their communities via the 2024 Fellowship Showcase!
Over the course of the 90 minute presentation, 8 fellows showed off their unique language courses that they developed for distinct languages found all across the world. These courses will soon be made publicly available to any interested learners online for NO COST via the 7000 Languages website.
Language loss is one of the most pressing issues of our time with over half of all the remaining languages expected to lose their last speakers in this century. With that loss comes the loss of a community's connection to their ancestral language, cultural practices, alienation, and other erosion within the community. The 7000 Languages fellows have taken a great step to reverse this language loss by creating resources in languages that do not have the infrastructure and support that many languages often do. Through their leadership and hard work, they are now in a position to begin creating effective change in their communities to preserve their languages, cultures, and teachings for the generations to come. We aim to seek more opportunities to partner with these fellows in the years to come alongside other Fellowship alumni.
