The dates for the 2023 Pacific Language Weeks series have been announced. Last year, the overarching theme for the series was sustainability, which aligned with the Ministry for Pacific Peoples’ Pacific Languages Strategy and fed into the UNESCO Decade of Indigenous Languages to sustain and revitalise heritage languages. The theme of sustainability has resonated strongly with our Pacific communities, who have agreed to carry it over for the 2023 Pacific Language Weeks series. Join in the celebrations throughout the year to help keep our Pacific languages, cultures and identities thriving in Aotearoa. Visit the MPP website for details of activities, and resources for your use.

This year, the series will focus on sustainability once again and Pacific communities will continue to build on the successes of the previous years to encourage and drive sustainable language initiatives to reverse the decline of Pacific languages in Aotearoa.
