Networking at the regional level

Regional-level networking is an intercommunity activity, involving more than just the local language group.

Here are some objectives of networking at the regional level:

• To encourage the exchange of ideas between language groups
• To increase local and regional commitment and participation
• To minimize potential political divisiveness caused by local language development

• Arrange exchange visits between regional institutions.

  Examples:

  Language committees Church groups Cultural groups Development associations
