How to celebrate your language and empower your community
The Heritage and Community Language Celebration Guidelines (the guidelines) are a resource the Office of Ethnic Communities developed to support communities to celebrate and maintain their heritage languages. The guidelines use plain language and give practical advice through the process of organising a language celebration.
