Endangered languages and local knowledge: Visual materials from a seminar at the Foundation for Siberian Cultures, October 2-6, 2011
In many parts of Siberia, the effective transmission within the family of indigenous traditional knowledge and of the peoples' own languages was prevented or made more difficult under Soviet and Russian education policies. Today, indigenous communities are concerned about this loss of their cultural heritage. In collaboration with foreign partners, they are developing new pedagogical concepts and modern learning tools that focus on and incorporate their own traditional ways of learning.
The sample videos that are shown here are part of a forthcoming DVD. They illustrate the problems of conventional learning methods, but also point the way towards fruitful future efforts.
