Rising Voices

Project Status:

Running

Project Category:

Language Network

Project Website:

https://rising.globalvoices.org/

Project Summary:

Helping bring new voices from new communities and speaking endangered or indigenous languages to the global conversation by facilitating the creation of peer learning networks to leverage the internet and digital media for their self-determined needs.

Description:

Rising Voices helps provide support through:

- microgrant funding and mentoring
- network-building with a special focus on indigenous language digital activism
- the sharing of citizen media-related resources
- specific training projects in underrepresented and marginalized communities

With a direct link to our diverse Global Voices community, we also seek to amplify these new voices through our broader network, where they can reach local and global audiences. Rising Voices is a part of Global Voices, an international, multilingual community of writers, translators, and human rights activists. Together, we leverage the power of the internet to tell stories that build understanding across borders. Together with UNESCO, we have created a toolkit that builds upon the work of engaged Indigenous digital practitioners, showing Indigenous language users how internet and social media tools can be harnessed for the preservation, revitalization and promotion of Indigenous languages, or other under-resourced or minority languages: https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000387186
