Multilingual Australia

🌏💛 "Preserving Sindhi: A Multilingual Legacy" 💬📜

Sindhi is a treasure in Australia’s multicultural landscape, contributing to linguistic diversity and cultural understanding. On World Sindhi Language Day, let’s celebrate its heritage.

🌏 For Educators: Highlight Sindhi proverbs or poetry in cultural lessons to promote inclusivity.

Help us understand the transition from primary to secondary school for young people with language and/or reading challenges!

We want to talk to young people with language and/or reading challenges in Years 6-12, their caregivers, and educators/professionals in some quick interviews (approx. 30mins for young people, 45 mins for adults).

The interviews will focus on secondary school transition experiences, social and emotional wellbeing, and what might have helped or made things harder. We are also open to receiving written or pre-recorded responses!
