** Calling Indigenous Youth Changemakers
------------------------------------------------------------

Cultural Survival’s Indigenous Youth Fellowship Project supports young Indigenous leaders between the ages of 17-28 in creating and disseminating knowledge through creative ways and critical thinking. It is an opportunity to build capacities in Indigenous rights, Indigenous languages, cultures, and Traditional Knowledge. Fellows work to represent the voices of their communities and bring awareness of local issues to global conversations through their proposed projects while strengthening their cultural identities and leadership.

Areas of Focus:

Currently, the world is immersed in the challenges of mitigating the impacts of natural resource exploitation and its effects on the well-being of the planet. The demand for transition minerals (nickel, lithium, cobalt, and copper), related to the production of electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels has skyrocketed due to the demand for renewable energy for a green, low-carbon economy. The field of green economy envisions this as a solution to address climate change issues, arguing that these energy generation technologies have low carbon emissions.

However, these minerals are mostly found on or near Indigenous territories, and their extraction is often linked to the violation of the rights of Indigenous Peoples. Furthermore, local biomes and environments have been severely affected by these extractive industries, degrading ecosystems and exacerbating natural disasters caused by climate change, with the deforestation, erosion, and contamination of water and soil due to the infiltration of toxic chemicals into the ground.

These factors, the extraction of transition minerals and natural disasters caused by climate change, directly affect Indigenous communities worldwide. This call aims to encourage response projects from Indigenous youth and promote actions that counteract or mitigate these situations.

INDIGENOUS YOUTH FELLOWSHIPS:

Eligible countries and regions: United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Panama, South America, Nepal, India, DRC, Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, Mali, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Sweden, Finland, Greenland, and Norway.

** Convocatoria de becas abierta para jóvenes Indígenas agentes de cambio
------------------------------------------------------------

El Proyecto de Becas para Jóvenes Indígenas de Cultural Survival se creó para apoyar a jóvenes líderes Indígenas de entre 17 y 28 años en la creación y difusión de conocimientos a través de formas creativas y pensamiento crítico. Esta Iniciativa representa una oportunidad para desarrollar capacidades en derechos Indígenas, lenguas Indígenas, culturas y conocimientos tradicionales. Los becarios trabajan para representar las voces de sus comunidades y llevar la conciencia de los problemas locales a las conversaciones globales a través de sus proyectos propuestos, al mismo tiempo que fortalecen sus identidades culturales y su liderazgo.

Área de enfoque:

En la actualidad, el mundo se enfrenta a retos para mitigar el impacto del abuso de recursos naturales y su afectación sobre el bienestar del planeta. Por ello, la demanda de minerales de transición (níquel, litio, cobalto y cobre) relacionados con la producción de vehículos eléctricos, turbinas eólicas, y paneles solares ha aumentado recientemente. Estos minerales son codiciados por el campo de la economía verde como una solución para los problemas del cambio climático, bajo el argumento de que estas tecnologías de generación de energía tienen baja emisión de carbono.

Sin embargo, estos minerales capaces de producir tales tecnologías se encuentran en su mayoría en territorios Indígenas, y su extracción genera una vulneración de los derechos de los pueblos Indígenas, además de impulsionar el extractivismo ambiental, con la deforestación, la erosión y la contaminación del agua y de la tierra por filtración de productos químicos tóxicos en el suelo.

Estos factores, la extracción de minerales de transición y los desastres naturales derivados del cambio climático, afectan directamente a comunidades Indígenas en todo el mundo. El propósito de esta convocatoria es incentivar proyectos de respuesta desde las juventudes Indígenas y fomentar acciones que contrarresten o mitiguen estos fenómenos.

BECAS PARA JÓVENES INDÍGENAS:

Países y regiones elegibles: Estados Unidos, Canadá, México, Centroamérica, Panamá, Suramérica, Nepal, India, RDC, Uganda, Kenia, Nigeria, Mali, Namibia, Botsuana, Zimbabue, Indonesia, Filipinas, Papúa Nueva Guinea, Suecia, Finlandia, Groenlandia y Noruega.

La fecha límite para posutularse: 30 de novembre de 2023. ([link removed])
