How can we retain the strength of our identities when our language is attacked, denied, or just lost through lack of practice and resources? How can we ensure that culturally and linguistically sustainable practices are embedded in our teaching, parenting, and social activities? Spend time with our presenters, watch short animations, view children's books, and discuss ways to support multicultural communities using these tools.
