Projects

Toolkits for Empowerment
We produce and disseminate videos, manuals, and other tools to build the capacity of local organisers; and empower communities to make informed decisions about their futures and campaign effectively to defend their rights and shape their destinies.

Self Determined Development
Helping indigenous communities build their capacity to protect their cultures, knowledge and territories and to determine their own futures

Indigenous Education
We support the propagation of education that is developed in indigenous territories; rooted in the knowledge systems and practices of the ancestors; and helping communities address the challenges of today.

Land Grabs and Land Rights
The Territories of Life toolkit is a series of 10 short videos that share stories of resistance, resilience and hope with communities on the front-line of the global rush for land. These videos, available in English, Spanish, French, Indonesian and Swalhili and are currently being disseminated widely by community facilitators.

Next Generation Leadership
We help create unique trainings for indigenous youth, focused on awakening their calling to defend their territories and providing them with the skills to facilitate participatory processes grounded in their own cultures.

Pulp and Paper
LifeMosaic has produced and distributed a series of films about industrial timber plantations in Indonesia. The films focus on how these plantations impact on the local economies, lives and land rights of the communities living on or near them.

REDD
'REDD on the Threshold' is a video that introduces key concepts to help local communities understand REDD+. The video discusses the risks and opportunities faced by communities and is being screened in REDD+ project areas in Indonesia.

Climate Change
'Fever' is a unique set of videos for indigenous communities to raise awareness and build knowledge about the issue of climate change and how it relates to indigenous peoples, cultures, rights and territories. Dubbed into 6 languages, these videos have been disseminated to local communities in over 20 countries.

Oil Palm
LifeMosaic, in partnership with Friends of the Earth and Sawit Watch, coordinated a project aimed at bringing critical information about the impacts of oil palm to communities in plantation expansion areas, enabling them to make informed decisions about their lands and their futures.

“In LifeMosaic's videos, we find ourselves. Through watching them we understand that we are not alone facing these problems. The stories give us hope that we can change our situations, organise in the village and even influence decision makers. We are so happy to hear about the ‘plan de vie’ [Life Plan] it seems very important that we should use in our own lives to design our own life plan.”
