Co-Creative Communities: Storytelling Futures for Community Arts and Media

Overview

Co-Creative Communities took place at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Federation Square, Melbourne, on 8 November 2012.

The forum brought together storytellers, broadcasters, filmmakers, artists, activists, cultural workers and researchers to discuss the challenges and opportunities that digital convergence and participatory media present for communities.

Co-Creative Communities was graciously opened with a Welcome to Country from Aunty Joy Murphy. The day was moderated by Professor Deb Verhoeven.

Session 1: Broadcast Yourself?

What is the role of public service and community broadcasters in an era of user-made media? How can they use new media to maximise opportunities for community development and engagement? And how might they work with community arts and cultural development organisations to improve access and creative participation? Find out how public and community media innovators are responding to the challenges, changes and potential of digital media.

Session 2: Impact Effects Evaluation

How do you best use participatory media for community development and social change? And how do you evaluate its success or impact? Leading researchers, practitioners and activists discuss the different models and best practice principles for working with communities to help tell their stories and creative positive change.

Session 3: Platforms & Publics

Who are the audiences for co-creative media? And how are we reaching and developing them? In this panel we explore how arts and media organisations are connecting with communities across new platforms, and with what success. We consider some of the pros and cons of using third-party social media and developing independent purpose-built platforms. And we look at the implications of next generation broadband for the community arts and media sectors.

Session 4: Storytelling Futures

First person storytelling is more popular and circulating across more platforms than ever before. And new technologies have transformed how we find, tell and interact with stories. In this session we consider the enduring appeal of storytelling, the role of the storyteller and storytelling institutions in a changing media landscape, and the importance of community-based storytelling.
