Pama Language Centre

I’ve worked with Cape York Peninsula Indigenous groups on various language and education projects, specifically those aimed at revitalising Hope Vale’s Guugu Yimidhirr language for generations to come, for a few years now.

Working in close collaboration with Karin Calley, a multi-linguist fluent in the Guugu Yimidhirr language, along with a stellar cast of language contributors, we’ve produced a vast array of learning tools and resources for schools in the Cape York, particularly, Hope Vale school.

While I’d love to be able to present a variety of work we’ve produced to date, due the sensitive nature of the projects, I will only show here a recent children’s picture book we created with Pama Language Centre.

The book is written by Lillian Bowen, a teacher at the school in Hope Vale doing some amazing work at keeping the Guugu Yimidhirr language alive. The illustrations have been created by Karin Calley.
