SCOLMA ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2020 POSTPONEMENT

SCOLMA ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2020 POSTPONEMENT

Oun a ní la ? gbé l’árug? 

(It is the heritage we have that we must celebrate):

 Publishing, Collecting and Accessing African-language Materials 

Postponed from: 8 June 2020

It is with great regret that SCOLMA has decided to postpone its annual conference, which was due to be held on 8 June 2020, owing to the coronavirus pandemic.

We’d like to thank everyone who has shown interest in and support for the conference. We hope to see you all next year instead, and are looking at rescheduling the conference (on the same theme) for summer 2021. We’ll send out more information in due course.

In the meantime, stay safe and well everybody.
