Participants required for an exciting and creative community project

Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG) and the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria (ECCV) are seeking people to participate in a short digital storytelling project. The project will tell four stories that will be overdubbed into 10 community languages.

We are looking for people who would:

• Like to have fun
• Express their creative side
• Support the prevention of homelessness in their communities

Does that sound like you?  If so, we would love to hear from you.

What is involved?

• Commitment of 1 day (primary character) or 1-2 hours (secondary character) in January (dates to be confirmed)
• Able to use own transport to locations (locations to be confirmed - will be in suburban Melbourne, probably northern suburbs)
• Being photographed (we will use the photos to put together a short digital story to be used in community education programs)
• Minimal acting (you don’t need acting experience to participate)

What is in it for you?

• You will receive a payment of $200 as a primary character or $50 as a secondary character for your time and effort
• You will be helping your community
• You will have fun and gain valuable experience
