Toolkit in Papua New Guinea

  • Imprimer


The toolkit has been used by Reite people to begin to document their traditional knowledge and the first booklets that that made have been put online in an ‘online library’. Reite online library: https://reitetkrnlibrary.wordpress.com/

There is also the start of an online library for a community called Tokain from the north coast of Madang Province.

An ongoing report and documentation on the project and the activities is available

And earlier this year, James Leach began investigating how the toolkit would be of use to people working at the Vanuatu Cultural Centre.
There is a report on this here: http://proboscis.org.uk/5669/bookleteering-with-the-vanuatu-cultural-centre/

In August, he will go back to Vanuatu with three people from Reite village in PNG to further share the process of documentation with Vanuatu people.

After this, Porer Nombo and James Leach will travel to Hawaii to contribute to the IUCN World Conservation Congress.
