Advocacy
Save Cantonese
Purpose: Save Cantonese is a global community-driven movement that promotes Cantonese language
and cultural preservation. Our organization is committed to sustaining the Cantonese language,
supporting courses at universities and ensuring access in everyday society. ‘Team Cantonese’ came
together as a group of passionate alumni, students, and community members, aiming to keep
Cantonese language instruction alive in higher education institutions.
Purpose: Turtle Learn aims to make Cantonese language learning more enjoyable and accessible for children. We believe that learning should be a collaborative effort between teachers, parents, and students. Through our technology-driven platform, we create a community that is accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or social status. Our ultimate goal is to make Cantonese pedagogy more accessible to children from diverse backgrounds, enabling them to develop the valuable skill of speaking Cantonese.
Cantonese Creators Collective - Creators & Educators for Heritage Education
Purpose: We’re a network of creatives, content creators, and educators reimagining how
Cantonese language and heritage education can be delivered in innovative and engaging ways ✨
There is a desire for many overseas Cantonese speakers to reconnect with their language, since
language can have deep ties to culture and heritage. Yet Cantonese language learners often
face the challenge of extremely limited language resources. But there’s hope! ✨ We’re a
growing community of creators and educators that recognize this need for educational content
that helps support Cantonese language or heritage learners. Values and Mission: Kind
Collaboration: Our community aims to foster connection and collaboration among creators and
educators who want to help create and add to a growing library and collection of Cantonese
heritage and language resources.
Purpose: To collect and streamline multimodal tools and resources (integrating visual, tactile, kinaesthetic elements) for world language/dialect access, transcription (by ear), teaching and learning, maximising: 1) the speed of immediate accurate speech connection, 2) access for a range of diverse learners in any group, and 3) speed of intuitive, embodied absorption, for ‘non-learners’, as well as heritage- and ethnically diverse learners. Current reach: Words and phrases in 30+ languages and dialects, which all started with Cantonese
