Wikin te Taetae ni Kiribati - Kiribati Language Week

Wikin te Taetae ni Kiribati - Kiribati Language Week

Celebrate: 7 – 13 July

The 2024 theme for Kiribati Language Week is ‘Eutakirakean ma kabwaekekean ara taetae ni Kiribati ma kateira ao rabakaura, bon maurin ao tokabetin te I-Kiribati - Thriving and flourishing our Kiribati language, culture, and knowledge build I-Kiribati resilience and prosperity’ 

This theme derives from the overarching Language Week Series theme for 2024, 'Sustainability'.
