The Small Islands Voice Initiative: Bringing People Together Through ICT The <strong>UNESCO</strong> Small Islands Voice (SIV) Initiative combines new information technology with more traditional forms of communication to provide an innovative and cost-effective communication system that allows people to raise issues at the local level, and then debate these regionally and internationally. SIV aims to enhance discussion within and between small islands in an effort to highlight the challenges of small islands and to encourage individuals to actively participate in solving these problems. A local coordinator is engaged to initiate discussions at the local level using meetings, opinion surveys, radio and television talk shows and other conventional means of communication. Those with access to the Internet then submit the results of these consultations through a moderator to the wider Internet community. Interesting ideas and points for debate are then picked up by other participants, who may either submit their ideas directly to the moderator or bring it up for further discussion (using conventional modes) in their own countries. Since the launching of the project in 2002, Pacific Islanders, along with people from other small island regions, have participated in the initiative, airing their views on a range of social, environmental and economic issues. SIV coordinators in several countries have also started outreach programmes encouraging communities to put their ideas into practice and develop real solutions. In Palau, communities are participating in an ongoing community visioning programme aimed at involving communities in identifying long-term sustainable development solutions. Youth are also being encouraged to participate in the global discussions through the SIV Youth Internet Forum. Despite limited access to the Internet, students and teachers in Fiji have participated actively in the programme, meeting regularly to discuss issues and submitting group responses to discussions and debate. Comments received during an evaluation exercise conducted by the local coordinator suggest that the programme has been enthusiastically received due to the opportunity it gives students to interact at a global level. ICT has proved an exceptional means of eliciting increased commentary from individuals in Pacific Island communities who may not have otherwise participated in such discussions. SIV is helping to turn the tide and involve those who matter the most. For further information: www.unesco.org/csi/smis/siv/about.htm 72
