Cultural Survival's 2020 Indigenous Community Media Youth Fellows are hard at work. The Fellowship Project aims to support young Indigenous leaders between the ages of 16-26, who are committed and eager to learn about technology, program development, journalism, community radio, media, and Indigenous Peoples’ rights advocacy.

Cultural Survival tiene el honor de anunciar la convocatoria para propuestas sobre “saberes tradicionales” para jóvenes Indígenas colaboradores en medios comunitarios. Buscamos producciones radiales sobre saberes tradicionales o ancestrales (plantas sagradas, curación, ceremonias, lenguaje, musica) los cuales son bienes colectivos en las comunidades Indígenas.
Cultural Survival y Radio de Derechos Indígenas se complace en anunciar la apertura de un nuevo proceso en el “Programa de Formación Continua” esta vez en modalidad de diplomado, contaremos con encuentros virtuales y uno presencial en Guatemala el cual está dedicado a 20 comunicadoras de 20 radios comunitarias Indígenas en Centroamérica.
Cuál es el fin de este proceso y quienes participan?
Today, February 21, is International Mother Language Day, first proclaimed in 1952 as "Language Movement Day" by Dhaka University students in Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) who were protesting suppression of their Bengali language. Police and military forces opened fire, killing many young people in attendance.

Mainor Ortiz Delgado, a member of the Indigenous Bribri Tubolwak clan, was shot in the leg by a trespasser on February 9, 2020, on his farm in Rio Azul de Salitre in southwestern Costa Rica. This act of is part of an ongoing wave of violence spurring from the Costa Rican government’s failure to implement Indigenous land rights and bring sanctions on non-Indigenous settlers on Indigenous land.
