Kouri-Vini/Louisiana Creole in K–12 education, you say? Mé gaddé don! 👀

Are you an educator, culture bearer, certified teacher in the state of Louisiana — or someone interested in helping bring Louisiana Creole into our schools? Then this message is for you.

Chinbo is making history, and we want YOU to be part of it. We have been working tirelessly to bring Louisiana Creole into public classrooms across Louisiana — and now it’s time to build the community of educators who will help make it happen.

We are seeking native speakers, heritage speakers, and fluent community members interested in helping launch our first pilot programs. Your experience, your knowledge, and your voice matter.

While priority will be given to native and fluent speakers, anyone with a working knowledge of the language is encouraged to participate.

👉 Take a few minutes to complete the survey below — and please share it with every Louisiana Creole speaker, elder, educator, or culture bearer you know.
Together, we can ensure that the next generation hears, learns, and lives our language.
