COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Recommendations Use social media platforms to inform people and discuss issues To recognize greater cultural diversity, some content could emphasize groups with plural identities (e.g.: Indian Muslims) influenced by determinants such as ethnicity and religion instead of merely race. Moreover, we could publish content highlighting the practices of other groups, such as the Chinese, to allow Indian youth to learn more about others. We will target youth aged 18 and above as they are more likely to understand the content. We hope to see healthy discussions on various groups and their practices. This could be evaluated through regular social media analysis which measures the reach of the posts and examines the type of comments and content shared by users. Practical Assessment: Rank 1 (Easy) Maathi Yosi | 2019 28 Social media could be used to inform people about various cultural practices and to highlight significant themes. Easily accessible, social media would be an ideal platform to reach out and engage youth and solicit their views regarding various cultural practices. Articles and posters on Indian heritage and culture could be created in multiple languages to promote greater awareness and understanding.
