This activity was part of a project of Global Voices, through its Rising Voices initiative, with the support of the Canadian Embassy in Mexico, that presented a series of online conversations focusing on how indigenous communities in Mexico and Canada have been adopting technology and the internet as tools to promote and revitalize their native languages benefitting and impacting a new generation of potential speakers. These conversations were an opportunity to engage with key language activists and advocates from Mexican indigenous and Canadian First Nations communities who have been utilizing the internet, digital media, and technology to promote and revitalize their languages. The conversations highlighted possibilities for cross-regional learning.
