Introducing: Hi8us
Parramatta City Council, the British Council and ICE invite you to a reception introducing the award-winning youth film and media organisation Hi8us to Australia.
During the month of January, UK-based Hi8us will partner with ICE on the Digi-Tales project, a global digital storytelling project giving young people the opportunity to share their stories with a worldwide audience.
Hi8us will be based at the Switch Centre at ICE, where they will train young media leaders to create their own ‘digi-tales’. Following the first week of intense training, Hi8us will support these media makers as they train other young people in Western Sydney in the art of digital storytelling.
Their stories will be posted online on www.digi-tales.org alongside stories from Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Slovakia and the UK.
Please join us in welcoming Hi8us to the Western Sydney arts community:
When: Wednesday January 16 2008, 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start
Where: Parramatta Heritage Centre, 346A Church Street, Parramatta
RSVP: Call Anique Vered on 9897 5744 or email anique.vered@ice.org.au by 15 January.
