Program: 

Worldwide, there are more than 7000 languages spoken, but for various reasons—a big one of those being colonization—nearly half of these languages are endangered. While that statistic is awful, here’s one that brings hope: the organization 7000 Languages has created free online language-learning courses in partnership with Indigenous, minority, and refugee communities so they can keep their languages alive. Stephanie Witkowski is going to bring some of that hope to the Cookie Jar.
