The Lannang Symposium aims to be…
-
a forum for connecting generations of individuals with Lannang heritage through ongoing, meaningful dialogue about "Lannang" identity and languages such as "Lánnang-uè."
-
a gathering place for the community to explore its collective history and experiences, discuss current challenges, and envision a shared future.
-
an environment that fosters recognition and robust growth of "Lannang" identity and languages outside the confines of home life.
-
a space for those disconnected from their Lannang roots to re-engage with the community.
