UNPFII-8 SIDE EVENT "Taking Advocacy Digital: emerging online indigenous youth networks"
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Online social networks are a new trend for young people to stay connected with others from around the world. These new platforms are a great attempt to close the digital divide by making the technology accessible for the hard to reach.

Join us for a discussion on how indigenous youth can enhance their advocacy by using web 2.0 networks.

Panelists:
• Jamie Whitecrow, TakingITGlobal Representative
• Ursula A. Johnson, Director, Kitpu Youth Centre
• Maria Cristina Gallegos, UNICEF, Voices of Youth Coordinator


May 21

1.15-2.45 PM

Danny Kaye Visitors Centre, UNICEF House

Changes to Aboriginal Portal Canada
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

A number of things will be changing on the Aboriginal Portal Canada:

http://canada.tigweb.org/aboriginal

- "Indigenous Canada Portal"
- Updates to resources, and the addition of an Aboriginal Organisation Directory
- An historical timeline
- Information on Current Indigenous Canadian Issues
- Cultural Background for a better understanding of Canada's Aboriginal People.

Later this month, we will be promoting member participation for a section we would like to add to the portal, called "Featured Stories from our Nations". Indigenous Members from Canada will be encouraged to write in their perspective on any of the following; region, First Nation, cultural background, mythology, language, or simply what it means to live as an indigenous youth in Canada (on/or from a treaty area, or living in an urban centre).

If you have any questions, comments, ideas, or would be interested in participating in the development of the "Featured Stories" section, please email jamie@takingitglobal.org

Thanks!
