Our method
1
Visits to UNESCO sites
Each year, four missions will be carried out around a specific ecosystem (tundra, forest, desert, etc.), with four indigenous communities located on different sites labeled by UNESCO (world heritage, biosphere reserve or global geopark).
​
2
Local photography training
At the heart of each mission, photography training workshops are offered to members of indigenous communities and equipment will be made available to them, in order to provide them with the technical and creative foundations necessary to document their environment and their knowledge through their own eyes.
3
Community Documentation
Each mission allows us to collect, with and through communities, stories, knowledge, and practices related to their environment. This knowledge, sometimes ancestral or recently adapted, offers valuable keys to understanding the effects of climate change and local adaptation strategies.
4
Selection & exhibition
At the end of each mission, a collaborative selection of photographs and testimonies is made with the communities. These works are then presented in an international traveling exhibition, offering the public an intimate and authentic look at the impact of climate change through the eyes of Indigenous peoples.
5
Integration into the UNESCO Atlas
The photographs, testimonies, and orally transmitted knowledge collected during the missions are integrated into UNESCO's online atlas dedicated to indigenous peoples and climate. This platform not only makes this knowledge available to a wide international audience, but also preserves an often-threatened intangible heritage. This knowledge, derived from generations of observation and adaptation to the environment, constitutes essential keys to understanding current ecological upheavals and imagining sustainable responses.
