Endangered Languages Project (ELP)

In this episode, Alexandra Philbin talks to Anna Belew and Akano Johnson Adewale about the Endangered Languages Project (ELP).

ELP is an organisation that supports people around the world who are working to promote and protect Indigenous, endangered and minoritised languages. It provides an online space where people can access knowledge and resources, share ideas and stories relating to language revitalisation and connect with a global community of language champions. Here, Anna and Akano tell us more about this work, their roles in the organisation and share advice for Celtic Students about getting involved with ELP and the revitalisation sector more generally.

This episode was recorded in August 2023.
