On International Youth Day 2022, Cultural Survival is pleased to announce our 2022 Indigenous Community Media Youth Fellows as part of the Capacity Building Program. Our Fellowship Program supports young Indigenous leaders between the ages of 16-28, who are eager to learn about technology, program development, journalism, community radio, media, and Indigenous Peoples’ rights advocacy. This is the fifth year of the Fellowship Program, which has awarded 46 fellowships to 77 youth to date. The capacity of the fellows is built through trainings in communication and technical skills such as radio, audiovisual media, and journalism, and culminates in the successful delivery of media projects.
Fellowships have allowed youth to build capacities in Indigenous rights, Indigenous languages, cultures, and Traditional Knowledge. It is an opportunity to assist fellows 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. We believe that youth hold the power to shift the dynamics of the world. If we want lasting change, we must support Indigenous youth leaders in making that change possible. The participation of our Indigenous youth is crucial in strengthening self-governance, protecting land rights, fighting climate change, containing the loss of biodiversity, restoring ecosystems, and stewarding our cultural heritage. Meet our 2022 Fellows!
