Community Development

Do you work at a school, for a council, in a community centre, in an arts practice, for an NGO or in some other way with a community?

We’d love to collaborate with you. We’ve spent years coming up with a model that perfectly suits your needs. It’s called All Around You.

CuriousWorks will help you understand how to use new media, design and the arts, in all their myriad forms, to help you do what you already do, better. Creativity and innovation can become an automatic, every day component of how you, your collective or your organisation works.

Creative new media breaks down the barriers old media set up between story-telling, marketing, control and accessibility. You can empower the most marginalised in your community to tell their story, and thus your story, sincerely, professionally, widely and sustainably.

You will lose some control, but you will start your own quiet revolution. Your classroom, your school, your office, your people, your suburbs, your region, your world can become deeply connected, knowledgeable, expressive and innovative through the power of new media – if you use it correctly. And all at very little cost.

To discuss a potential partnership, please contact Naomi via naomi@curiousworks.com.au.
