I recently returned to work in the Division for Sustainable Development in the Department of Economic and Social Affairs. Specifically I work in the Small Islands Developing States Unit. Yesterday I was presented a DVD with many short video clips. These video had been submitted as a public call to be shared in preparations for a recent event held in Samoa. I believe the clips were combined into a longer piece that ran on a loop during the conference at a booth. This may have been seen by people passing by.
I thought it might be useful to aggregate the clips in one place (get them off of the DVD) where they are available online and can be shared with others. After a bit of wrangling with Youtube and the help of an intern to provide a bit of a heading and intro text I was able to create a Youtube Channel I named the Small Islands Developing States Network
The Youtube account will provide access to the video online that can be shared with others using social media or new media. There are many important issues that face small islands. Education and Technology have unique challenges and can provide for elegant solutions.
