Bario-Indigenous Peoples and ICTs

I travelled to Bario at the start of December, after a short stopover in Miri, where I was fortunate enough to attend the Triennial Kelabit function.

I worked with a group of Kelabit children, who varied in age from about 10-14 yrs and in numbers from 8-15. I taught them how to use a couple of digital cameras and the minidisc and set off with them and Miriam, the excellent facilitator to take some pictures. We created a photostory from the pictures they took over one day in Bario.

You can see a short movie of the photostory by following the link to youtube to watch: Bario Children's Photostories.


I also attended a UNDP workshop on Indigenous Peoples and ICTs, which was a great opportunity to meet Indigenous Media practitioners from around the world and hear more about their fascinating work.

You can see some more of these pictures on my flickr site.

I then went on to attend the GK3 in Kuala Lumpur.
