2019 has been declared the International Year of Indigenous Languages by UNESCO. To celebrate, UNESCO has created a website, available at https://en.iyil2019.org/ 

The website will contribute to raising the awareness about this International Year and about the urgent need to preserve, revitalize and promote indigenous languages around the world. 

On the website, relevant stakeholders and interested parties can find information about the plans for celebrating the IY2019, the actions and measures to be taken by United Nations agencies, governments, indigenous peoples’ organizations, civil society, academia, public and private sector, and other interested entities. Furthermore, this website will include a calendar of events, partners’ space for collaboration, access to resources in video, audio, image and text formats, and information about different partnership modalities and sponsorship benefits. Users will learn as well about events in their respective regions, discover how to participate, contribute and benefit from the rich variety of activities.
