Language Week, which runs from October 7-13. This year is
the final year of the theme – Noqu Vosa Me’u Bula Taka – My
language, Learn it, Speak it, Live it, with a focus on
immersing yourself in the language. Fijian Language Week
2018 was launched on October 6 at National Library in
Wellington by Minister for Pacific Peoples Hon. Aupito
William Sio and Associate Minister Hon. Carmel Sepuloni.
There is also a series of other events happening, including
the Fiji Day Festival in Mangere and Matua Day honouring
senior citizens in Manukau. Regional events are also being
held in Hamilton, Whanganui, Palmerston North, Wellington,
and Christchurch throughout this week. Minister Sio says
this is the sixth Fijian Language Week held in Aotearoa and
it is great to see growing interest in revitalising the
language."~MPP
