Mātala: Growing Language Futures (Round 2)

Mātala is a call to awaken - for our children to open their eyes to the importance of Pacific languages, not just as words to learn, but as ways of knowing, being and belonging with confidence.

For us, the language learning journey for children of the diaspora is about becoming, not about perfection. It’s about walking a journey guided by the village - our communities, our schools, our elders and our knowledge holders. Through Mātala, our young people are immersed in stories, songs, and lived experiences. Our pedagogy centres meaningful expression, cultural context, and village values - where language carries identity, relationships, and ancestral wisdom.

In 2025, PKL began the Mātala Project across six languages. In 2026, we are honoured to continue this journey - growing language futures through story and song with the communities of Kiribati, Fiji, and Rotuma.

Introducing Mātala 2.0 with the support of the

Kiribati - Baraniko Baaro (Community Author & Songwriter)
Fiji - *Joseph Vuicakau (Community Author & Songwriter)

With heartfelt thanks to our project partners:

• Gabriel Faatau'uu-Satiu | Satiu Studios

This is the future we are growing, together.

Wrap-up of week 3 with 1 more night to go. Lighter on the sweet-front this week, but it didn't stop the vibe and energy which remained strong through the beats by

Amongst those in attendance, a contingent of Pacific island creatives were present- friends, family and community members vastly connected to Satiu Studios let loose, immersing themselves in the activation: participating in free face painting by the gorgeous artist (who doubles as a rugby player & waitress), getting high on sugar by supporting local sweet food vendors, and breaking out with spontaneous dance moves making Suite 8 a place to be last night.

Random members of the public from young (and passing cars) reciprocated, and lots of conversations were had on how we can continue activating 261 Queen Street, the Aviary, and maintain partnerships with Council & Sedgewick Ave.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 to everyone who showed up with one final night to go.

If you're free on Thursday 13th Nov from 6pm-9pm, come on down to ‘Sweets and Beats’ for our closing night of activation.

A little overdue but a huge 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 to for this stunning customised carving. It's the perfect way to celebrate over 5 years of our service and dedication to our community through the arts. We asked for a tanoa in the centre, and the uso went above and beyond, carving our very own logo into the piece.

It’s now found its place on the mantelpiece in our Campbelltown office, a daily reminder of where we’ve been and heading.

We’ll definitely be back to for more carvings. Please follow and support, you won't be disappointed ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
