The event was in a hybrid forum with participants present at the UNESCO office in New York and in Zoom. Participants were particularly excited to hear about the Living Language Lab exhibition and discussed that this is an important achievement and experience that Iceland can share globally with all stakeholders during the International Decade of Indigenous Languages 2022–2032.
