The eBKF is informal, inclusive and participative.
The Third eBario Knowledge Fair will adopt a range of knowledge sharing methods in addition to formal paper presentations. We therefore invite contributions that address the general theme; either as academic research papers or detailed suggestions for a knowledge-sharing activity e.g., using one of the following methods;
Chat Show, Fish Bowl, Storytelling, and World Café. (See http://www.kstoolkit.org/
KS+Methods for a description of these).
Two workshops will also be held: - - Community Radio
- Knowledge Sharing between Rural Telecentres The e-Bario Knowledge Fair (eBKF) is a biennial
conference, held in the village of Bario, Malaysia, which showcases the use of ICTs for rural development. It is conducted in conjunction with the local community, bringing together researchers, practitioners and policy makers with the residents of Bario and the wider Kelabit indigenous ethnic community. The eBKF is a pioneering example of Development Conferencing, the process by which development specialists articulate their plans and share their ideas together with the people whose lives they are trying to improve, and in their own surroundings.
The Third Knowledge Fair will adopt a theme of Technological Innovation for Indigenous Peoples.
As part of this, and with the assistance of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Knowledge Fair will feature the Asian recipients of grants under the IFAD’s Indigenous Peoples Assistance Facility (26 projects in 13 countries) with particular reference to their potential use of Information and Communication Technologies and sources of renewable energy in support of development for Indigenous Peoples.
Additional contributions are also sought that can stimulate further debate on the applicability and deployment of these technologies towards solutions to the specific problems faced by Indigenous Peoples. As eBario has been awarded Malaysia’s first license to operate a community radio station, the Third eBario Knowledge Fair will include a focus on the use of community radio for engaging with indigenous issues.
The topics for regular sessions include, but are not limited to:
- Preservation of cultural heritage with ICTs - ICTs and environmental protection
- ICTs and climate change
- Giving voice; new media for public debate
- Professor Datuk Dr Khairuddin Ab Hamid Vice Chancellor of University Malaysia Sarawak - Dr Roger Harris
Founder of Roger Harris Associates - Mr Ganesh Thapa
Regional Economist for Asia and the Pacific Region of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
