The NICE/Mapudungun project aims to develop bilingual educational resources and enhance writing conventions for the Mapudungun language, spoken in Chile. Collaborative efforts between LTI, IEI, and the Chilean Ministry of Education focus on collecting oral corpora, refining writing guidelines, and fostering academic cooperation. The project supports the documentation of all dialects and enriches the community's cultural heritage. With a commitment to preserving the language, the initiative promotes a bilingual future through education and research.
