    Cross-cultural communication of knowledge and study results: a case for Mongolia
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2014-04-08) Ulambayar, Tungalag, speaker; Unidentified speaker
    Tungaa's fellowship project aimed to support the outreach objectives of the Mongolian Rangelands and Resilience (MOR2) project of Colorado State University by implementing two activities. The first was to create a nation-wide radio program targeted to the learning needs of pastoral herders and the second was to contribute to increasing research capacity of Mongolian students to conduct studies using MOR2 data. Her radio program communicated preliminary research results of MOR2 regarding effects of collaborative management practices of formally organized community groups on their livelihoods, social relations as well as resource conditions contributing to their resilience to climate change. The project was implemented for a 4-month period starting from mid-June, 2012. Proposed activities took place both in Mongolia and U.S.A in collaboration with the Mongolian National Radio, individual young researchers based in Mongolia and the CSU MOR2 team members. Lessons learned from the fellowship project include that scientists should provide feedback to local communities after their survey taken in their places. In Mongolian condition summer time is not very good time to broadcast educational program on radio. Designing short-term training requires extra careful consideration of content in order to prevent incomplete understanding of the key topics.
