Auckland Languages Strategy Feedback and Information-Gathering Tool

Auckland Languages Strategy – Feedback and information-gathering tool

The Auckland Languages Strategy Working Group (facilitated by COMET Auckland) has circulated a draft Auckland Languages Strategy. We would welcome your input, suggestions, comments and feedback. We would also love to hear about the things you are doing that support languages in Auckland, in any way, so we can include recognition of current actions within the next version of the strategy. To that end, we ask you to complete the survey below and send it to by May6th 2015 (or earlier if possible).

If you know of other individuals or organisations who are involved in any way with languages in Auckland, please send the draft strategy and survey on to them – we are keen to receive information and feedback from as many people as possible.
