| Event Description |
This round-table discussion will focus on three key issues related to Indigenous urban communities: community inclusion and cohesion, social and political action, and sustainability of media as a vehicle for supporting community identity and change. The session will address the following questions: How can media reflect the social, political and economic realities of a community in a way that supports social inclusion and cohesion? How can the development, production and release of videos give voice to communities, raise awareness of decision-makers and be a catalyst for broader social and political change? And how can a “community of interest” in advancing media as a community development and change agent be sustained globally? Through case studies of Indigenous communities, participants will leave with an understanding of how media/film can affirm, define and support community identity and change.
