Young people are the generation of our future. It is through influencing their understanding and perceptions that we have the capacity to mobilize a generation that has a new aspect and healthy appreciation and understanding of what multiculturalism should be.
The project will target young people from a wide range of cultures and religions. An artist who specialists in digital arts, graphics and visual art will be engaged who will run a series of workshops with young people that seek to document (through stories, drawings and interactive media), an understanding of their culture, how they came to live here, their dreams and hopes and personal stories.
The objectives of the project are to:
- Document through art, stories and digital media (video, audio, digital photography), the personal stories and dreams and visions of our multicultural youth
- Broaden the minds of young people to create an understanding and acceptance of different cultures and religions
- Utilize electronic media to redesign, reshape and re-establish modern views and to promote integration of different cultures
Outcomes of the project will include:
- An E-magazine, which is an interactive media for the ipad or computer. The magazine has illustrations, drawings, storytelling and content that is both educational and entertaining.
- A digital video portraying different cultural groups working together in workshops to produce the products as a well as a visual portray of what multiculturalism means to this generation.
