The exhibit will include information on the National Languages Policy Partnership, community classes, place names, education, collections, young champions and administrative needs such as human resource management, Indigenous cultural and Intellectual property, legal support and the provision of fee for contract services.

  Naming places, features and localities is an important way to recognise and celebrate the diversity in our communities and preserve Aboriginal languages. Geographic Names Victoria (GNV) supports naming authorities and communities to make informed and inclusive decisions around new place names, and in some cases the renaming of existing places.

 Family history research projects can be time-consuming and frustrating but also very rewarding. We have put together a range of information and resources to help you on your journey. Our program aims to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Stolen Generations survivors and their families by providing family history research assistance and access to information about their families.

Contribute 50 Words in your language! The 50 Words project (50words.online) aims to provide fifty words in Indigenous languages of Australia. The map is intended to be a useful educational resource for schools and other organisations to learn 50 words in their local languages, and for the general public to discover the diversity of languages around Australia. We invite PULiiMA delegates to contribute 50 words in their language to help grow the map. 50 Words is an initiative of the University of Melbourne's Research Unit for Indigenous Language.

Living Languages provides grassroots training for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who want to revitalise and maintain their languages. We will showcase a range of Indigenous Language resources, including: Language teaching tools and techniques, story books and Learner’s grammars.  Come check out our games, yarn about training opportunities and see the work of some of our partner Language Centres, Nyamba Buru Yawuru in Broome, W.A. and Muurrbay in Nambucca Heads, NSW.

In this exhibit we propose to explore Indigenous visions of a future in which language technologies augment and amplify the needs, dreams and aspirations of Indigenous Australians, through a hands-on speculative design exercise with conference delegates.
