Our Journey

Co-creative story-making with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people.

‘Our Journey’ is an award-winning animated short film made with the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School and Australian Chamber Orchestra, through Swinburne’s Marngo Designing Futures program and acquired by ABC iView in 2018. The ideas and messages explored provide insights into the challenges and experiences associated with living and studying in Melbourne, away from families, and often remote communities. Innovative in its co-design process, this digital storytelling studio program engages with proven methods to facilitate a culturally safe co-creation space for learning and telling stories resulting in unique films in both visual aesthetic and design, with narration in the student’s own Indigenous languages.
