2023 Yuuingan Dhilla Yari

The 2023 Queensland Indigenous Languages Symposium: Yuuingan Dhilla Yari will be held on Thursday 4 May 2023 at State Library of Queensland. 

The 2023 symposium will focus broadly on the preservation, revitalisation and promotion of Indigenous languages as a human right, act of sovereignty and self-determination. 

Hosted by State Library annually, this year's symposium will bring together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language speakers, language workers, organisations, cultural leaders and youth for a full day of keynote presentations, panel discussions and workshops. The event will provide a platform to look towards the future and share strategies and initiatives, to ensure the ongoing revival of Queensland Indigenous languages in the 21st Century, for and by our next generations. 

Join Rhianna Patrick as MC alongside drivers of community-led language projects on a journey that celebrates the survival and revival of Queensland’s first languages as part of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages with a focus on empowering youth leadership and embedding language in the education sectors.  

This free, one-day event can be experienced in-person at State Library or virtually, with the morning sessions available via livestream.
