I chose the case study about "
THE BAREFOOT COLLEGE - PROMOTING PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENT FOR YOUTH IN INDIA" on
http://www.kivu.com/wbbook/casestudies.html simply because traditional knowledge need to be shared and preserved as the same way which is mentioned in the report.
Quote : People depend more on each other and the use of traditional knowledge, skills and wisdom promotes active community involvement. It encourages
transparency and accountability. This is not the case with urban-based
skills, which encourage secrecy and dependency, and which offer no
guarantee that the service is either competent or reliable. The use of
traditional knowledge demystifies the local technologies that will be
the basis for sustainable solutions in the future. The more people who
understand and try out a technology, the greater the chance of the
technology being accepted. Other types of sustainability are achieved
by using traditional media, such as puppet and street theatre, to
convey messages on social issues (minimum wage, gender equality, etc.).
