25.01.2022 Creative Recovery Webinar presented by RAV with the wonderful Amanda Gibson - Monday 30 Nov. Amanda's best known for her work on The Blacksmiths’ Tree in Strathewen, which was created in memory of Black Saturday as a symbol of resilience, love, compassion and transformation. She's currently working with the Creative Recovery Network training other artists to facilitate projects in Gippsland. She believes the greatest strength communities have throughout disasters is connectivity. Creative projects are essential to provide environments for people to talk, grieve, plan and sometimes celebrate, often attracting people who wouldn’t otherwise meet. Don't miss it! https://regionalartsvictoria.cmail20.com/t/d-e-cdduydl-jul/

24.01.2022 Fantastic opportunity for 15 young / emerging (13-25yrs) story makers / creators across the Murray-Mallee via the Fairfax Youth Initiative (FYI). For more than two decades, FYI has been working with young people across the north-west, giving voice to the things that matter through creative exchange. Covid scuttled its 2020 plans. The result? They're embracing an online model for now real, local stories, told live by young people - broadcast from the Murray-Mallee to the wo...rld! The FYI mentorship will provide tools and techniques in crafting and delivering truthful, dynamic and engaging stories from lived experience, culminating in a virtual storytelling event live-streamed from the homes of our storytellers to audiences across Australia in February 2021. Expressions of Interest are open now to both current students in the Murray-Mallee and Fairfax alumni who have participated in FYI in previous years. Closes Nov 23. https://www.fairfaxyi.com/
