International Day of Indigenous People is celebrated to recognise the efforts which are made by indigenous people to work on issues such as protection of the environment. The day also focuses on the current situation with indigenous languages in the world. This year, the theme of International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is "Indigenous Languages". The theme highlights the need to promote and preserve these languages.

It is also necessary that we promote good practise through expert or interactive panels via presenting innovative initiatives. The celebration is to take place on August 9, 2019, from 10 am to 5 pm in the ECOSOC Chamber at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
