Samoan Language Week 2020
Tālofa lava, afio mai,
Vaiaso o le Gagana Sāmoa - Samoan Language Week is being
held from Sunday 24 May – Saturday 30 May, 2020.
The theme for this year is "Tapena sou ōso mo lau malaga" - Prepare yourself a gift for your
travels. Samoa is located in the Polynesian region of the Pacific Ocean consisting
of two main islands, Savai'i and Upolu. This year’s theme highlights the
importance to honour, respect and share the gifts of our life’s journey and provides
an opportunity to reflect in our personal journey during these challenging
times. It is about coming together to build, support and strengthen the fa’asamoa
(Samoan culture) and Gagana Samoa (Samoan language) with these ōso (gifts) and urges us to prepare
for the journey ahead as we celebrate Vaiaso o le Gagana Sāmoa.
Unitec Library has resources in electronic version to learn more
about the island nation, Samoa. Check out the Unitec Library catalogue and our
Pacific subject guide.
Use the hashtag #SLW2020
to follow the events on social media.
