This project focuses on researching, collecting, and documenting Samia Indigenous knowledge to preserve and share it with both the local community and a global audience. Through monthly Village Barazas, elders will share traditional practices for climate resilience, sustainable farming, and climate adaptation with youth. Storytelling, oral traditions, and folk songs will be recorded and catalogued, creating a rich archive of Samia wisdom, that can become content for a global audience accessing it online via a dedicated platform, or social media or other media.

How we worked
We identifed skills and interests of the volunteers and aligned with the project.
The volunteers received further information about the project and how to contribute and with which commitment.
They joined calls to meet the rest of the team and other volunteers and then discuss together the nature of your contribution and joined our online community and meet all the other people working on all the different circles.
