My friends, today's episode of the podcast is a conversation I had last week with Elisa Tripotin. She's a French student in international relations working on a paper on how the pandemic has impacted the participation of Indigenous Peoples in international discussions. I like this episode as it gave us an opportunity to immediately reflect on the 20th session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. You'll like it too as we discuss the internet during the pandemic; reach vs. engagement; how virtual can exacerbate inequality; what a good idea might be for the Permanent Forum to become stronger.
What are your thoughts on virtual diplomacy and advocacy, or more specific this year's session of the Permanent Forum? Let me know what you think, please tweet any thoughts or takeaways to @gomaluku. Want to talk to Elisa yourself? You can reach her through this link. Also a big shoutout to DOCIP for always bringing in amazing volunteers and interns.
