While the countries the Mekong are forging new cooperation and attempting to build bridges of understanding under the Lancang-Mekong project, initial research shows that audiences from the participating countries do not know of each-others’ cultures and have very little understanding about the other countries economy and situation. Yet the countries living around the Mekong hold an amazing array of resources and a multitudes of lifestyles to discover. It is therefore expected this project can help to fill some knowledge gaps and improve the mutual understanding of the people living around the Mekong.

​

The “6 Pillars of the Mekong” Programme will focus on the production of a weekly tv series, that looks at the lifestyle and culture of the people of the Mekong countries and in this first series, focuses on Cambodia.

 

The show is called the 6 Pillars of the Mekong to reflect the various foundations and common traits of the 6 countries in the Lancang alliance. The Series also focuses on 6 Ps to highlight the diversity and common aspects of the countries: Places, People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership. Videos Documentary will be produced focusing on each of the Ps (each clips of approximately 10 minutes will be produced (est. total 25 clips). Where possible, the clips will attempt to make thematic connections with other countries of the Lancang project.
