Bridging the gap between refugee/migrant communities and the arts industry
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you”

who are we
We are an initiative that aims to create a safe, open and inclusive space for CaLD young people to bring their unique experiences and backgrounds into the process of storytelling and performing to the forefront of the Australian arts communities. Tell Your Story aims to facilitate artistic expression, confidence and participation in young people from diverse backgrounds in a nurturing environment so that each individuals’ unique cultural identity is demonstrated through the performing arts.
Having access to and participating in the arts is essential for every human being. For youth who are from new and emerging communities, engagement in the arts allows for deeper cultural connection, inclusion, confidence and empowerment. The objective of this course is for children to engage with others in similar circumstances and discover themselves artistically within a safe environment.
We aim to broaden the experience, confidence and creative capacities for migrant/refugee youth from CaLD backgrounds.
Improve accessibility to quality training in the performing arts.
We aim to enhance education, training and employment opportunities for CaLD youth in the arts industry.
