Good Food. Strong Body. Good Mind
C’mon kids, you look tired! Lets go cook something healthy to eat, it’ll give you energy to run and play all day.
Fish is good for the brain, vegetables keep you healthy and bush tucker like kangaroo tails keep you strong.
OUTCOMES: During the 4 day workshop with over 25 participants the group brainstormed, shot and edited their film to promote healthy and active lifestyles. To get the whole team on board, we moved focus from healthy eating to healthy living; as there was huge pride for their sporting activities; BMX biking, acrobatic back flips, playing footy. To showcase healthy food the group prepared and cooked easy to make meals in the bush and kitchen. On location the whole team filmed the preparation of damper and kangaroo tail at a camp fire. The outcome overwhelmed the whole community.
The project is a benchmark for us to show how digital media (from making snapshots to complex films), can bridge cultural and social divides.
SCREENINGS & AWARDS:
The entire school attended the final screening on day 4.
Tullawon Health Service ordered 100 DVDs to distribute to other remote communities and health services.
