i ben teaching about this topic for the last 3 years in my home land honduras, working with the garifuna people, i do workshops based on ethnographic documentary filmaking for intangible heritage documentation preservation and difussion, this speech give more substance to my arguments so i can show this in any future workshop, empowering these groups to tell their storys from their own culture and interpretation and cosmovision allows the respect and combats any type of stigma that can be generated through poor comunication though comercial media productions.

Communication is sometimes difficult. Even when you speak the same language but when speaking different languages ❤

It's the more common understanding - castles, monuments, memorials etc

Huh?

[@insandistr]

your speech is more like a persuasion speech to general audience who are on neutral basis. stop throwing in random example all over the place..
