DigiDiaries
Date: Showcased March 2011
Wrap Up blurb
All we need is two minutes…two minutes to tell you a story. Digi Diaries developed unique and moving tales of love, loss, friendship, family, courage and transitions experienced by young people.
ICE Worked with Western Sydney’s Muslim communities, engaging young people, aged 12 to 25, on a range of screen-based projects providing training in scriptwriting, filmmaking, editing, photography and online film preparation.
The project collaborated with community groups and schools and worked directly with over 80 young people to create, produce and tell their own stories and share them with broader Australian communities through public screenings, forums and on the internet.
The participants ranged in ages and cultural backgrounds including Afghani, Iranian, Iraqi, Sudanese, Somali, Lebanese, Egyptian, Palestinian, Turkish, Pakistani. They will be screening and showcasing their work in early 2011.
Special thanks to project partners Fairfield High School and their Intensive English Centre, Sule College, Auburn Community Development Network and Afghan Hazare Youth Group. This project is proudly supported by Arts NSW and Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC).
