Across two screening sessions, we’ll share short films and stories including:
Documenting Spaces for Youth - digital stories created by UC CHCH101 students
Stories into Futures - stories created by women navigating education, employment and career change
Between the screenings, we’ll come together for a panel kōrero exploring: Stories That Create Space (Storytelling, Belonging and Inclusion)
What does it take to create places, spaces and opportunities where people feel they belong, can participate, and can see a future for themselves?
What role can community storytelling play in creating those spaces?
Come along for an evening of short-form cinema, kōrero, connection and celebration and to explore what becomes possible when storytelling creates space for people, perspectives and possibilities. We’d love to see you there.
