Tokelau Language Week
Week celebration:
Sunday 27 October - Saturday 2 November 2024
The 2024 theme for Tokelau Language Week is ‘Tokelau, tāofi mau tau aganuku, ko tō pale tēnā - Tokelau, holdfast to your culture, that is your crown.’
The theme derives from the overarching Language Week Series theme for 2024, 'Sustainability'.
Another amazing set of slides created by Bryan Leilua from the Manurewa RTLB cluster.
