Description
“Put into perspective”
Go and meet the “Guardians of the Living” without leaving your home!
Correspondence is the custom version of Digital Travel. Its objective is to provide employment opportunities to community members directly from their homes, so that they can generate a subsistence while remaining on their ancestral territory
Adapted to your wishes, as well designed for One-to-One as for school groups, the experience requires a stable internet connection, a computer or a smartphone to live privileged exchanges.
Schedule a weekly meeting with your Aboriginal correspondent for several weeks: ask questions, learn and share to draw the world of tomorrow together. You can choose 2 experience formats of 4 or 8 hours, depending on your wishes.
