Indigenous Knowledge: Why this Burning Issue? |
 In discussions held on the DLIST online forum, we realised that there has been indigenous knowledge transfer breakdowns, which has impacted on both the physical and social environments. The discussions show that many people are concerned about the loss of these important knowledge systems. Organisations and some individuals are already working towards raising awareness and pooling their forces together to capture, store and transfer indigenous knowledge.
This Burning Issue on Indigenous Knowledge provides a dedicated space for stakeholders to:
- disseminate their information and material around the topic
- interact and share experiences and best practices
- reach a wider and more diversified audience
- share tools and approaches that will be useful for anyone wanting to engage in similar activities
As the DLIST team, we hope that this Burning Issue on Indigenous Knowledge will provoke further critical thinking on these issues, and elicit further appreciation of indigenous knowledge. Share your views and experience with other stakeholders and pose your questions on the Discussion Forum.
