From Tradition to technology: Navigating the generational cultural shift in the Pacific
In a world that's always shifting, the timeless wisdom of our elders becomes more precious with each passing day.
Their knowledge and skills aren't something you can study in the classroom or in a book; it's something you learn from sitting with them and observing.
But younger generations can't always spend this valuable time with their elders. So if we aren't spending the time to hear their stories and learn their crafts, their wisdom is at risk of being lost.
Samoan architect Athol Greentree is passionate about preserving the ancient knowledge the Tufuga Fau Fale, weaving modern technology with their traditional building methods.
Edson Willie from Vanuatu's Cultural Centre and Augustine Kohler from the National FSM Archives are also working hard to protect traditional knowledge. They're putting policies in place to futureproof their culture for the next generation.
Culture Compass was produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia.
