Nunavut meets Peru: our first collaborative project

This is our first year participating in Adobe Youth Voices with Taking IT Global.

Here's Ethan's perspective.

Youth from Blue Sparrow and the Arviat Film Society are connecting and collaborating through media and technology in ways we didn't know were possible. This year, we are starting to learn how to link and work with youth in other countries.

We want to give a super shout out to the five amazing and talented young men from Peru who with this project, showed us another part of the world and we can't wait to see it:

• Moises Rudas Poma
• Marco Antonio Perez Poma
• Maycohol Enrique Alaya
• Mark Anthony Castillon Ore
• Renzo Perez Yalo

You're on TV. :)

We hope you will come to Nunavut some day.

We would like to thank the Nunavut and Peru youth who made this video together, on two continents!

This is an example of the kind of collaboration we are trying to build through our participation in both Adobe Youth Voices and Isuma TV's Digital Indigenous Democracy Project. Videos like this one show that even though we live in very remote places, and may not have access to the same technologies and bandwidth that bigger cities have, it is possible.

THIS PROVES WE ARE ALL CONNECTED!

• Moises Rudas Poma
