The Story Exchange 2009
Penrith City Council (1 other project)
The Story Exchange 2009 was a creative engagement project aimed at consulting children and young people about the strengths and needs of their neighbourhoods through digital media and story telling. The stories told by participants were used to inform the development of Neighbourhood Action Plans for Londonderry and Oxley Park.
60 children participated in three creative workshops throughout April and May 2009 which were facilitated by professional artist facilitators. Workshops included digital photography and photo composition, use of Photoshop, animation and story development. In a second series of workshops young people from Cranebrook and St Marys, guided by a professional film maker and a photographer, created short digital stories about their neighbourhoods.
The works explored themes of neighbourhood strength, pride in place, local identity and passion for the environment.
The Information and Cultural Exchange (ICE), Londonderry Public School and Oxley Park Public School were key partners on the project.
