This episode explores age-old traditions, unique knowledge practices, and initiatives promoting social change. We begin with our Tok Pasifika segment, sailing to the beautiful country of Samoa to feature Vitolia’s story, celebrating the vital role of the Samoan language. We then witness a dynamic expression of culture and heritage from the North Pacific as Palau takes the stage at the 13th Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture (FestPAC). The episode continues our journey of promoting social inclusion, gender equality, and human rights for young people in the Pacific. Tune in for Part 2 of 3 of our documentary series on the Social Citizenship Education (SCE) programme, implemented by the Pacific Community SPC. This project aims to empower youth to become better informed and responsible citizens. In our Guardians of the Pacific segment, Kirimaua from Kiribati, highlights unique practices of traditional knowledge that help protect and sustain our ocean resources. Finally, we take you to the beautiful island of Beqa in Fiji to witness the age-old tradition of firewalking, practiced by the people of this island for generations.
