Remote Schools Media Programs

• Working closely with the school’s teachers and counsellors/pastors, the program works with indigenous and non-indigenous students, to discuss and make films about issues of their choosing, that are impacting them, thereby giving them a voice to express what is going on and a chance to explore potential solutions.
• Previous programs have covered issues such as the dangers of sniffing, marijuana, school absenteeism, violence, healthy relationships, mental illness and protective behaviours.
• Remote Media Programs give participants a voice and help them develop effective strategies to resolve problems, leading to positive community outcomes.
