The 2024 theme for Tokelau Language Week is ‘Tokelau, tāofi mau tau aganuku, ko tō pale tēnā - Tokelau, holdfast to your culture, that is your crown.’
The theme will derive from the overarching Language Week Series theme for 2024, 'Sustainability'.
More resources for Tolekau Language Week, including social media graphics and posters will be uploaded before the language week takes place, so check back for more soon!
