Thinking about the future of language and culture education?

Under the theme Languages at the Crossroads: Imagining Futures, Bridging Divides, the Colloquium will bring people together to ask some big questions.
How is AI changing language teaching and learning? How can language education help us navigate misinformation and social division? What does the future hold for Indigenous, Asian, European and less commonly taught languages in Australia?
And, perhaps most importantly, how can language and culture education help us build more connected and inclusive futures?
