This workshop was organised by David Bradley of La Trobe University, in conjunction with Xu Xianming 许鲜明 and Bai Bibo 白碧波 of Yuxi Normal Institute, and sponsored by UNESCO and by the International Centre of Excellence in Asia-Pacific Studies of the Australian National University. The workshop provided a forum for the spread of information and strategies for the preservation and documentation of the Tibeto-Burman languages of Yunnan. As Yuxi Normal Institute has special responsibility for education in Yuxi City and Honghe and Nujiang prefectures, it is uniquely placed to develop language maintenance strategies for the languages of these areas, which include Hani, Lisu and Yi.
