The Role of Technology in Globalization for Indigenous Youth

UNESCO (The Role of Technology in Globalisation for Indigenous Youth)

Description:

UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) is undoubtedly known by all. But just in case, UNESCO has several goals which include (but are not limited to) ending poverty, building world peace, creating life-long learners, and embracing cultural diversity.

Exploring UNESCO’s website I located a report prepared by OXFAM International.  Chapter 5 of this report focuses on the effects of Globalization on Indigenous Youth.  There is a section that deals with the ‘Role of Technology in Globalization For Indigenous Youth’ (page 87) that I found particularly appealing because it discusses many things that we have dealt with on our course thus far.  Specifically, technology can have both positive and negative effects on Indigenous people and their communities.
