ABOUT NATALIE
Natalie Drache is
the Editor/Publisher of Dialogue Between Nations and Producer of dbn.tv
(Digital Broadcast Network). Over a fifteen year period, Natalie has
done media work at numerous UN mega-Summits, meetings and events of
Indigenous Peoples at the UN in Geneva, New York and the Organization of
American States in Washington, D.C. She is also the Executive Director
of Dragonfly Blue Productions Inc., a diversified media company based in
Vancouver, Canada. Ms. Drache, a graduate of the UCLA Film School, has
been a Script Supervisor for more than twenty years in the Hollywood
motion picture industry. Her credits include the Academy Award winning
film, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. She has also covered a number of
international Film Festivals, including Cannes, as a film journalist.
Attending a public broadcasting workshop at Penn State University in the
mid 1990’s, she ventured across the hall into a seminar hosted by IBM on
the subject of virtual universities. This chance encounter led to a
profound shift in her vision of communications, and subsequently, she
enrolled in the University of British Columbia’s Post-Graduate
Certificate Program in Technology-Based Distributed Learning.
Ms. Drache has been an individual member of the Inter-American Distance
Education Consortium (CREAD) for more than a decade. She has presented
Dialogue Between Nations in plenary sessions and workshops throughout
the Americas, as well as showcasing thematic content in multimedia
installations at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec;
the Universal Forum of Cultures in Barcelona and the UN World Summit on
the Information Society in Tunisia.
A strong advocate for human rights, she also co-curated a major
exhibition with Amnesty International in Spain, dedicated to prisoners
of conscience.
