Visible Voice field trip 2010
This year our field trip took is to the villages of Eki Naryn and Karakola. We haven’t worked in these villages before so it was a new experience. This year Ian Convery, from the Faculty of Science and Natural resources at the University of Cumbria, came along to find out about how the Snow Leopard Trust projects are working in the villages. Kate, my daughter, also came along as part of her work experience for this year. She helped out taking photographs of the project workshops and filming our work. We are working through the photos and video footage with a view to putting together a new film on village life in Kyrgyzstan.
There are three new films made by villagers in Eki Naryn and two films from Karakolka. Kenesh and I are working our way through the translations and adding English subtitles. You can view the films by following the links from the media index.
