Science Summit at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78)

Abstract: 
The Silver Passport Project draws inspiration from NASA's 1977 initiative, where they collaborated with the United Nations to compile a golden record representing the essence of human civilization and culture. This record, which included greetings, photos, and sample recordings, was sent aboard a spacecraft into the solar system. It served as a timeless testament to our collective heritage. The creative approach of the Silver Passport project involves creating a digital space where youth and seniors can exchange stories and knowledge. Young content producers learn about ancestral heritage and the importance of preserving cultural traditions directly from seniors who share their wisdom and experiences. The project aims to go beyond formal education and provide a unique learning environment that promotes a deeper appreciation for diverse heritages and traditional practices. The planned outputs of the project include an online platform where youth and seniors can connect and exchange stories, a collection of digital content showcasing ancestral technologies and cultural heritage, and partnerships with organizations that share similar goals. The project aims to leverage digital platforms to reach a global audience, promoting cultural diversity and intergenerational collaboration on an international scale. Overall, the Silver Passport project directly contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by promoting intergenerational learning, safeguarding ancestral technologies, and fostering inclusivity. It serves as a platform for preserving cultural heritage and creating meaningful connections between generations, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive future.
