Questions driving the project: 1) What are the perceptions from the community about the presence of plastics/microplastics in their environment, climate change, and how do they see this affecting their traditional foods and activities?2) What contributions can be made, by using participatory digital tools, to bring about changes in practice, policy and capacity in northern communities? 3) What are the benefits and challenges of live streaming to engage the community on these issues?
