Asylum Seeker Resource Centre media training 3 2013 September - Melbourne VIC
The Change Media team ran the final collaborative workshop in Melbourne with members and volunteers from the ASRC (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre). The 1-day workshop, focused on handover of a broadcast quality camera for the ASRC, to enable their members to produce their own creative myth busting videos and community campaign films.
The workshop forms part of an ongoing two year collaborative effort to debunk the myths surrounding asylum seekers and to create powerful media messages for TV, internet and/or video projection art. The Change Media team will skill up members and volunteers at the ASRC, to support them to create a self sustaining media hub as a resource for asylum seekers to have a voice in the digital age.
During the handover workshop, participants trained on their new camera and media literacy skill to enable them to transfer their stories into screen language.
This workshop conceded a successful 2-year co-creative process to support asylum seekers in Australia. The ASRC community media team now has their own iMac media hub with broadcast quality camera and all skills necessary to commence their own artistic work.
Big thanks to the Australian Nurses Federation for the use of their fabulous venue!
