===== Program ===== 
The objective of the webinar is to train new creators, maintainers and users of UD and PARSEME treebanks for the sake of **language diversity** and **universality**-driven language modelling. **Young** researcher or investigators, as well as people working on **under-resourced or endangered languages** are particularly welcome.

The program is meant for **newcomers** to Universal Dependencies, PARSEME and/or Grew-match:
