Alternative Communication and Education Channels

This initiative emphasizes small scale social, political and cultural projects, bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders from within and outside the country. The Foundation’s local and global collaborations and cooperation include art & culture projects (e.g. exhibitions, artist in residency co-operations with galleries and art spaces in the Southeast Asian region), new media capacity building initiatives (e.g. documentary film-making workshops), cross-cultural exposure, and the launch of educational/informational website portals for both Burmese and international users, providing country relevant critical content on historical and current affairs.
