The IICD supported Bolivian organisation APCOB created a channel on YouTube that is fully dedicated to spreading information on different indigenous people in Bolivia.
The channel is based on a series of DVD’s that APCOB made and is meant to inform secondary school
and university students, teachers and a broader audience about
Bolivia’s indigenous cultures.
The videos are a result of a project that started in 2001 to preserve
and document books, photographs and video materials on indigenous
people collected by APCOB since the 1950s. By placing their videos on
YouTube, ABCOB hopes to reach a wider audience.
