Say it in Sámi (2016-2017) is a web project about the indigenous Sámi languages that are spoken in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia. At the moment there are 9-10 different Sámi languages spoken and all of them are endangered.

The web page features a Finnish-Sámi-online language phrasebook built with the audience, documentary interviews and articles about the Sámi languages. The goal of this project is to revive the endagered languages, raise awarness around the topic and built a website that could be used in schools as part of education.

The original idea, web layout and visual outlook, short documentaries, marketing and social media content was made by me and I'm the projects main producer.

The translations for the phrasebook are by Niillas Holmberg, who has been involved in other parts of the project as well, the coding is done by Samuli Kaipiainen and Mikko Leino (Viiksipojat Oy) and the illustrations on the website are by Lille Santanen. The producers from Yle are Hannu Karisto and Laura Vehkaoja.

The project was awarded with a State Award for Public Information in autumn 2017 and the webpage has already been used in education all around Finland.
