    • Remote Schools Media Intensives

    Working closely with the school’s teachers and counsellors/pastors, the program works with indigenous and non-indigenous students, to discuss and make films about issues of their choosing, that are impacting them, thereby giving them a voice to express what is going on and a chance to explore potential solutions.

    Previous programs have covered issues such as the dangers of sniffing, marijuana, school absenteeism, violence, healthy relationships, mental illness and protective behaviours.

    Remote Media Programs give participants a voice and help them develop effective strategies to resolve problems, leading to positive community outcomes.

    Program Structure

    Under the guidance of our facilitators, students research and discuss issues and creatively explore solutions through the representation of their own experience via a short film, music video or commercial. This is screened at a community forum, engaging participants and a public audience of peers and wider networks in a discussion and collaboration on solutions.

    Why choose our Youth Choices programs

    In the high-pressure world of secondary school, traditional ‘instruction’ rarely leads to behavioural change. Our Youth Choices suite uses ‘Forum Theatre’ – an evidence-based methodology where students become active participants in the narrative. By allowing teens to stop the action and trial different solutions to issues like consent, substance use, and mental health, we provide a rehearsal space for life. This ‘theatre of the oppressed’ style engagement is proven to increase retention and empower students to find their own voice.

    We don’t shy away from the hard conversations. Our programs are developed in consultation with subject matter experts and Western Australian youth to ensure the scenarios reflect the actual lived experiences of today’s teenagers. Choosing Youth Choices means providing your school with a high-impact, peer-led experience that challenges prejudices, builds emotional intelligence, and equips young adults with the ethical framework to navigate adulthood safely.
