<p>Dear all</p>
<b>Local Content BPF: Call for contributions on preserving and
sharing local culture, history and content at risk as a result of
political shifts and upheaval </b><br>
<div class="tabs">
</div>
<p>The <a
href="https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/lexicon/8#BPF"
title="Best Practice Forum" class="lexicon-term">BPF</a> on
Local Content is exploring how the Internet can be used to
preserve local language and cultural heritage, particularly in
current contexts <strong>where cultural and linguistic diversity,
artefacts and histories are at risk as a result of political and
social shifts and upheaval</strong>. The BPF is putting out a
call for contributions to help understand and expose challenges,
and gather examples and best practices of how digital technologies
and the Internet can be used to <strong>promote, preserve and
share local culture and content</strong>. The BPF would also
like to identify best practices of how to manage and promote the
digitisation of existing analogue content (printed and electronic
media, cinema, music, visual arts etc.) and services.</p>
<p>
Please help us by sharing your experience, expertise, concerns,
questions and examples of challenges and responses to those
challenges. <br>
