Anti-Discrimination Centre “Memorial” is releasing a series of podcasts about the rights of indigenous peoples. The second episode of the podcast is dedicated to the education issue.
Education is one of the ways to shape and/or protect cultural and linguistic identity: system of secondary and high education can either develop or destroy the traditions, customs, and ties with the environment of indigenous peoples.
Colonial and post-colonial approaches to the education of indigenous peoples have played — and still play — a largely destructive role. However, in different time periods, efforts were made to protect the languages and cultures of small peoples while also giving them the chance to access the modern scientific knowledge.
These issues are discussed in the latest anti-discrimination podcast by:
- Mark Zdor, indigenous activist from Chukotka, member of the International Committee of Indigenous Peoples of Russia (ICIPR), anti-war activist
- Dmitry Dubrovsky, a sociologist and a lecturer at Charles University in Prague
- Stefania Kulaeva, expert of ADC Memorial
Sound design: Ostap Kukhar
The following English version of this podcast was created using AI voice synthesis technology from the original Russian-language episode, with the explicit consent of the speakers.
