Kivokuli
In Kivokuli (meaning "melting pot" in a mythical language), folks honor the vibrant patchwork of cultures and tongues. They value the task of keeping these alive and growing. The Kivokulians use an ingenious method called "Vitatu" (the exchange), a practice of passing down wisdom and traditions through generations. They've breathed life into a rich mosaic of cultural landscapes, all manifesting the countless facets of human life.
A set of institutions, "Mwanzo" (the beginning), stands tall in Kivokuli, staunch guardians of cultural and linguistic diversities. These could be culture houses, memory museums, or associations promoting "Sikulima" (intercultural learning) and age-old wisdom. The Mwanzo operate through a community-led way known as "Jumuiya" (unity), mixing a variety of viewpoints and cultural rituals. They become vital actors in the development sector, shaping Kivokuli's path towards sustainable cultural evolution.
SCROLL TO GO RIGHT
WAY OF WORKING
Budget allocation: Kivokuli uses a "Jumuiya" (community-led) budgeting method focusing on funds for cultural conservation and revival, "Lugha Yetu" (our language) and cultural teachings, and community actions to protect heritage. Resources might be channeled through a community-run "Cultural Diversity Fund."
Agenda setting: Kivokuli sets its agenda through a grassroots process, spotting key hurdles for cultural diversity and crafting a shared vision to tackle them. It could include community-led research and study.
Project management: Kivokuli uses a grassroots approach to managing projects, valuing local choice and decision-making. Cultural conservation projects would be co-created with the community, with execution being done by locals with help from outside allies.
Kivokulians hold each other and the core value of "Vitatu" (intercultural exchange and understanding) close to heart. They deal with justice through "Matengenezo" (community-based restorative justice), focusing on mending relations between folks and groups, while enhancing cultural safeguarding.
ACCOUNTABILITIES
Allies dedicated to the mission of culture conservation and revival lend a hand in Kivokuli. They bolster "Lugha na Tamaduni" (language and cultural education programs), and back "Jumuiya-led" initiatives to protect cultural inheritance. They organize "Sikulima" events, inviting individuals from different cultures to share their wisdom and traditions.
PARTNERSHIPS
They employ a "Biodiversity Cultural Index" (BCI) to measure the richness of cultural traditions and expressions.
A "Language Vitality Index" (LVI) measures the health of a language, including its speakers, cross-generation transmission, and institutional backing.
Lastly, a "Cultural Heritage Evaluator" (CHE) helps communities value their cultural inheritance, both tangible and intangible.
