About the Event

Join us for a collaborative event highlighting the K’iche’ language, which is widely spoken in Guatemala as well as in our local communities. Hear from professors and students in the Linguistics and Education Departments at Brown, from leaders at the Coalition for a Multilingual Rhode Island, and from teachers who recently traveled to Guatemala to learn from K’iche’ speaking educators and activists. Walk away with a few new words in K’iche’ as well as a deeper connection with some of our neighbors in Rhode Island
