FLI Supports Cultural Events for GB and Chitral Students in Islamabad

The Forum for Language Initiatives (FLI) supported student organizations from Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and Chitral in their cultural events held in Islamabad. These events brought together hundreds of language speakers from these regions who are now living in the twin cities of Islamabad-Rawalpindi.

The student organizations organized a variety of activities to celebrate their rich cultural heritage. The events featured engaging talk shows, soulful musical performances, captivating poetry recitations, and an array of food stalls offering traditional delicacies. Attendees also enjoyed cultural exhibits that showcased the unique traditions and customs of GB and Chitral.

These separate events aimed to reconnect participants with their culture, which they may have felt disconnected from while living in urban areas.

FLI’s support for these events underscores its commitment to preserving and promoting the indigenous languages and cultures of northern Pakistan. By fostering a sense of community and cultural pride, these events contribute to the ongoing efforts to strengthen and celebrate the linguistic diversity of the region.
