TalkBack

Talkback

 

TalkBack! is a project for young people (14 – 25 years) in Bankstown to explore issues, ideas or stories that they care about. We are all ears! For example, it might be the idea of home, a sense of belonging, a passion to change the world around you or how you feel about your next door neighbour. Working with more experienced artists, you’ll learn great new skills in video, audio, web design or animation.
