SharingStories Languages

The SharingStories Language Lightbox iOS Application is a community owned and controlled, login, modular based, audio-visual language repository developed and implemented with the Paakantji community of NSW but designed for scalability and adaptation by other communities.

The Language Lightbox is available to communities for use in recording, documenting and holding their own languages. The tool also includes functionality which allows for links to relevant interactive cultural material relating to language words and can be shared and populated across satellite communities connected to the Language and Culture hubs.

To implement the Language Lightbox in your community, please contact SharingStories Foundation [email protected]

The Language Lightbox build was funded by the Ministry of the Arts’ Indigenous Language Support (ILS).


This tool has been developed for SharingStories by The Project Factory, an award winning digital production company.
