A brief document film on FaY - Folklore & Youth project has been broadcasted on web at NHK WORLD-JAPAN, "Sharing Future". I can't appreciate enough all the supporters making this happened; from recording to broadcasting, so courteous supervise given by 中村 亮介 and 中山 章 at Napro.inc. And all the youth members of CAF: Research Center of Lao Culture & Folklore Luang Prabang, especially my assistants Vanh Vanh, and Suk Suda, greatest artist Thentoji, Gemmi Black and Meeta NrnNoy, Thadam Tvk. I always gain encouragement from my respecting greatest scholar and teacher, prof.Elisabeth Preisig. My dear friends Siphone Sengvandy, Deth Vilayvanh Naly Sayaseng Somephet San and ThaiTHOR are always bringing me up.
Thank you very much🙂 And, let's keep on our way.
I missed my biggest research mentors; Khampeng Tavavikone and Prof. Klaus Seeland, I really wish both could watched this film before passed away. My sincere condolences for both.
In Laos, young members of ethnic minority groups preserve folk tales as picture books and learn essential skills as they go. The project, led by Yokoyama Taizo, gives them control over their future.
