Our Partners’ Pioneering Work
Initiating SBC: The ALG Stories
“We’re very excited to learn. We’re very excited to fail so that we will learn good lessons and know how to move forward.”
The first step towards the unknown takes courage. Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center (LRC) Executive Director Mai Taqueban admits that their INITIATE project is a new endeavor for an organization as seasoned as the LRC.
The plan is set: launch a TikTok account, gather young influencers in a youth camp in ancestral lands in Northern Mindanao, start a conversation with them about indigenous rights and issues, and spread short-form content. These Gen Z influencers will pave the way in collaborating with indigenous communities, and sharing their stories and struggles through videos. Indigenous voices take space online, build a community of short-form content creators amplifying calls from the ground, and lobbying for indigenous rights and climate justice.
“We want to debunk the adage that you can’t teach dogs new tricks, so this is an opportunity for us to learn new tricks.”
It’s a brave plan, Taqueban says, but it’s one that just might work — through the help of Social and Behavior Change (SBC).
