World Book and Copyright Day and International Year of Indigenous Languages 2019 @ Woodstock School Library

The purpose of this event is to explain the advantages of teaching and promoting indigenous languages to young angolan students in an effort to contribute actively with the linguistic and social preservation of the angolan indigenous legacy.     

The central topic and main aim of the symposium is to examine questions related to indigenous and minority names using various different approaches, as well as from a cross-disciplinary viewpoint. Since names are the subject of the symposium, presentations may touch on all types of name categories in onomastics, such as, e.g. minority language place names, personal names, administrative names, business, animal and artefact names.

In the second edition of the project Brazil: the margin, the Centro de Artes da Universidade Federal Fluminense (Fluminense Federal University Arts Center) will be open, from April 24th to 30th, to Teko Porã, which in Guarani language means well living in the community.
