The Iyasa Language and Culture Summer Camp is a community project whose objectives are to promote, revitalize and document the Iyasa language, culture and customs. As the language and the ethnic group are classified as endangered, we work daily to fight against its programmed extinction.Since 2021, for one month (the month of August), we bring together children and teenagers aged 0 to 20, with the aim of passing on their linguistic and cultural heritage, through purely cultural activities, literacy, games and initiation to customs (culinary arts, plastic arts, traditional dances...etc.).
We also support children's education by handing out school supplies (school bags, notebooks, pens, rulers, pencils…etc.), for we believe that the preservation and documentation of our language depends first and foremost on education. This year we intend to support the education of over 350 Iyasa kids enrolled in Nursery, Primary, secondary, High schools and University, providing them didactic materials.
