In 2009, we spent 3 months in Newman, remote Western Australia. Here is a summary video showing the highlights, our process, and lots of heart and soul from the young people of Newman. Enjoy!
UPDATE
As a result of our 2009 project in Newman:
The Shire of East Pilbara has committed to re-opening and redeveloping a youth centre in town
BHP, local schools and the Shire are coming together to discuss a position for an ongoing youth worker in town
The young people of Newman have made another film in their series, completely independently (they are 11-13 years old)
CuriousWorks will be returning to Newman in 2010, with the support of BHP Billiton Iron Ore
We couldn’t be more chuffed. In 2010 we’ll continue to focus on building capacity in the community, until CuriousWorks becomes completely redundant in Newman. Our goal in each community is for the young people, local partners, local business and government to all be working in mutual benefit, empowering the most marginalised people in their town to sustainably tell the stories of their place.
Our time in Newman was made possible through the BHP Billiton Iron Ore – Legacy Project presented by Country Arts WA in association with Curious Works and the Newman Community.
