The Forum for Language Initiatives (FLI) successfully concluded its Writers’ Workshop for Government School Teachers of Upper Chitral in Booni. Over the course of the three‑day training, 50 teachers — half of them women — strengthened their skills in Khowar orthography, classroom pedagogy, and practical writing techniques. The workshop directly supported the provincial Mother Languages in Education policy.
FLI, a non‑profit organization dedicated to promoting language, culture, and inclusive education, has long championed the integration of mother tongues into formal education. The organization expressed particular happiness at the strong participation of women teachers, noting their vital role in advancing mother‑tongue education and inspiring future generations.
The closing session celebrated the teachers’ commitment to promoting linguistic heritage in schools. Certificates of participation were distributed among all attendees, recognizing their active engagement and contributions throughout the workshop.
Participants shared positive feedback, expressing their appreciation for the opportunity to learn writing principles in their own language. They highlighted how the training boosted their confidence and expressed excitement to pass on these skills to their students, ensuring that children can connect more deeply with their cultural and linguistic identity.
This initiative reaffirmed FLI’s dedication to empowering educators and preserving linguistic heritage through practical, classroom‑based language development.
