World Endangered Writing Day

Organized by the Endangered Alphabets Project, the day is a time to celebrate the world's minority and indigenous scripts, each of which is a fascinating illustration of communal cultural design. Events include a wide variety of free online sessions on topics such as:

• Type design and cultural authenticity
• A keynote on language, script, and education revitalization in Bangladesh
• How we can learn from Sikkim and its many scripts.
• Challenges and lessons on script extinction and revival
• Teaching an endangered script through massive open online course
• Digitizing scripts for electronic devices
• And much more! See the current events of the day and register free. (Look for the green button.)

Why January 23? That's a great question with an inspiring answer. We encourage you to read about it online.
