[UgaBYTES] Heritage content in Syrian countryside Memory | whats the role of telecentres

[Polly Gaster]

Hi all

Contributing to this discussion - obviously community radios have a big role 
to play in collecting and disseminating local traditions, language, music, 
culture, etc, and in Mozambique various radios have specific programmes. For 
example, in one district I visited the listeners write in with queries about 
correct ways to speak the local language, the use of certain vocabulary, 
etc, and the radio brings together some elders and others to discuss and 
agree on answers. 

Even when the centre does't have any specialised equipment, the video option 
of a digital camera can be used to record dances, for instance, and save 
them into the computer as part of a local archive.
