Our Projects

Some of our regular work – such as the Regional Film Distribution Service – continues year after year while adjusting to changing user needs.

Part of our work is organised in the project mode, with a specific focus, timeframe and outputs. Current projects include:

•	Saving the Planet is a 5 year project (2006 - 2010) to competitively select and showcase innovative efforts in education for sustainable development (ESD) across developing Asia. Supported by Asia Pacific Cultural Centre for UNESCO (ACCU),Tokyo, Japan, within the framework of ACCU-UNESCO Asia Pacific Programme under the UNESCO/Japan Funds-in-Trust for the Promotion of ESD.

•	Climate change impact on freshwater resources in Asia (2008 – 2009) is a series of short video films being produced for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) based on new sub-regional technical studies carried out by Asian experts.

•	Training youth leaders on environment in Sri Lanka (2008 – 2009) is a year-long capacity building project to raise awareness and inspire community-based environmental activities among youth leaders in rural districts of Sri Lanka. Training carried out on behalf of the Stromme Foundation and its partners.

•	TV debates on sustainable development (2007 – 2008): We have been commissioned by IUCN Sri Lanka to produce and broadcast a series of TV debates on sustainability challenges and choices. While focused mainly on Sri Lanka, some topics (e.g. climate change) will be addressed at regional and global levels.

•	Communicating Disasters (2006 – 2008): This regional project takes a new look at improving media and ICT based communications before, during and after disasters in Asia. It started with an Asian brainstorming meet on communicating disasters held in Bangkok in December 2006. Communicating Disasters: An Asia Pacific Resource Book was published in December 2007 drawing on expertise of 21 authors from across Asia and beyond. This collaboration with UNDP Regional Office in Bangkok will end with the book's distribution and promotion in 2008
