Octapod has received a small grant from the Community Relations Commission to run a series of digital storytelling workshops with young people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. We have linked up with the Multicultural Neighbourhood Centre in New Lambton as well as Waratah High School to offer ten Year 9 students the opportunity to learn how to produce a short digital story on the theme of 'friendship'. The project will run for consecutive weeks in June/July 2010 and will be featured on culturehunter.org in August.
