By incorporating indigenous knowledge and traditions into development projects, better understanding between development workers and local communities has been achieved. Also: Participatory communication provides local communities with a sense of agency and ownership of development projects. Participatory communication raises the community's awareness of its own resources and talents, likewise its ability to change at least some aspects of daily life.

For me, it was particularly interesting as there has been similar exhibition organized in Belgrade, covering the same period. I wrote about it in the post Women’s Socialist Corner.
