Education & Language Revitalization

Indigenous Language Revitalization

In Mexico, we support culturally and linguistically relevant (CLR) education because it is essential for children’s growth and success. We do this by investing in teacher training, recruitment of community educators, scalable CLR educational models and CLR educational materials.   

Indigenous language rights, preservation and revitalization promote the well-being of children, families and communities well beyond the classroom walls. Our broader language preservation efforts are fueled by an understanding of its importance in all aspects of life and by our dedication to racial equity.

Rising Voices, an initiative of Stitching Global Voices, provides training, mentoring, funding and network-building tools to help people from underrepresented communities tell their stories digitally. In southern Mexico, WKKF supports the organization’s work in leadership development, network expansion and generative exchanges for young digital activists working to revitalize local Indigenous languages.
