The Rosetta Project

I am here for Networking

About Me

The Rosetta Project is a multimedia initiative which partners with developing communities to teach Photography, Film making, and Music recording. The end goal is to establish self-sustained multimedia programs for, of, and by indigenous peoples. These programs will also foster the growth of a mutimedia economy in the communties. Voice can take many forms, multimedia is but one of those forms. We at The Rosetta Project hope to enable people of developing countries to communicate with each other and the world at large. We benefit as well. We will be documenting our endeavours in a series of films. These films will help the western world gain understanding of, and promote partnership with, indigenous peoples. The first film will be entitled The Origins of Speech. This film is centered around St. Agnes' Secondary School in the Ruvuma region of Tanzania.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

All people interested in bolstering indigenous voice through multimedia. All volunteers, donations, and partnerships are readily accepted and greatly appreciated.
