(CNA Reporter Chang Hsiung-feng, Taipei, 15th) The Council of Indigenous Peoples (CIP) held an opening ceremony for the training of language promotion personnel today. Through solid, project-based training, it hopes to cultivate more Indigenous people to engage in language inheritance and promotion. It is also planning to collaborate with colleges and universities to promote an "Indigenous Language Talent Publicly Funded Development Plan" to attract more youth.
The CIP held the opening ceremony for the "Indigenous Language Promotion Personnel Special Training" today. In a press release, the CIP stated that this training introduces a systematized intensive training and practical drill mechanism for the first time. It establishes a trackable and verifiable training system, recruiting outstanding talents with intermediate-advanced or higher Indigenous language certification for several months of rigorous training.
According to CIP statistics, 24 trainees were admitted this time, covering 7 tribes including the Amis, Bunun, Paiwan, Atayal, Truku, Seediq, and Tsou. Their ages range from 22 to 52, with 15 young people under the age of 35, accounting for 63% of the total. This shows that more and more young people are willing to engage in language promotion work.
CIP Minister Tseng Chih-yung (Ljaucu Zingrur) stated that this special training aims to cultivate a professional promotion team with "immediate combat readiness" through systematic training, laying a long-term stable human resource foundation for language revitalization. To allow trainees to focus fully on the courses, the CIP fully covers board and lodging. This not only relieves economic pressure but also fosters cross-tribal exchange and cooperation through centralized accommodation, forming a shared learning community for language promotion.
The CIP emphasized that language promoters are the frontline force for cultural revitalization. Through solid project-based training, it hopes to cultivate more tribespeople to engage in language inheritance and promotion. Additionally, it plans to collaborate with colleges and universities on the "Indigenous Language Talent Publicly Funded Development Plan" to attract more youth and cultivate more dedicated language promotion professionals.
