NEXT Online Call-in Radio: May 30, 2012: More than a few jobs? What do Inuit communities really need?
Community radio online is the first step in DID's pilot project, Angiqatigingniq Deciding Together, to adapt today's media communication tools to the traditional Inuit skill of listening respectfully to different points of view until reaching one unified decision everyone can support.
Angiqatigingniq Deciding Together and Nipivut Nunatinnii Our Voice at Home link seven Baffin Island communities facing development of a $6 billion iron mine, railroad and deep-water port for supertanker shipping by Baffinland Iron Mine Corporation (BIM), 70% owned by Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steel-maker. Deciding Together through new media gives Inuit communities more power and influence at upcoming Public Hearings and the negotiating table with Baffinland and government agencies.
DID now is fully financed for 2012-13 for $1.35 million from Canada Media Fund Experimental Stream and project partners including Nunavut Independent Television (NITV), Municipality of Igloolik, Nunavut Department of Culture, Language, Elders and Youth (CLEY), Carlton University Centre for Innovation and Mt. Allison University.

About DID (Overview 5 May 2012)
Inuit consensus – "deciding together" – may be the strongest power communities can bring to negotiating with governments and transnational corporations. DID uses internet, community radio, local TV and social media to amplify Inuit traditional decision-making skills at a moment of crisis and opportunity, as Inuit face Environmental Review of the $6 billion Baffinland Iron Mine (BIM) on north Baffin Island. Through DID, Inuit adapt "deciding together" to get needed information in language they understand, talk about their concerns publicly and reach collective decisions with the power of consensus. Inuit consensus will be expressed publicly in a multimedia Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA), looking at the positive and negative impacts of the proposed mine in terms of international human rights standards and best practices, and then presented to the regulatory process, online through IsumaTV and through local radio and TV channels in all Nunavut communities. For more information see DID Overview. DID News Alert. Nipivut Nunatinnii Our Voice at Home.
