The Skill Engineer Ltd. is proud to launch In My Shoes, an innovative digital storytelling initiative that empowers young people from culturally diverse backgrounds to share their stories through digital storytelling. Funded by the Multicultural NSW COMPACT (Community Partnership Action) Program, this initiative aims to strengthen understanding, resilience, and social cohesion across the Central Coast.
To celebrate the launch and Harmony Week, The Skill Engineer Ltd. invites the community to a Harmony Lunch at The Hub Erina on Thursday, 20 March 2025, from 12:00PM to 1:30PM.
In My Shoes provides young people with hands-on experience in media production, guided by professional mentors. Through storytelling, the project aims to promote unity and challenge division, ensuring that diverse voices are heard and valued.
“The In My Shoes project embraces the rich diversity of young people on the Central Coast, empowering them to unite against fear and division and champion community harmony,” said Maggie MacFie, CEO of The Skill Engineer Ltd.
“By offering young people the opportunity to share their stories, and teach media skills in this evolving digital landscape, we are building a more inclusive and resilient community that celebrates the richness of cultural diversity,” she said.
Participants, aged 12-30, will be identified through regional partners, including the Central Coast Community Council. The program will also engage local professional videographers and producers to bring these stories to life.
A key highlight of the project will be the Multicultural Short Film Screening, held at the year’s end to celebrate young storytellers and showcase the power of diversity and inclusion within our community.
The Harmony Lunch is a chance to connect with others who are passionate about digital storytelling, diversity, and inclusion. Guests will hear from The Skill Engineer Ltd. and key partners about In My Shoes and how young people and the community can get involved. Whether you’re a young person with a story to tell, a creative looking to collaborate, or a community member eager to support, this event is for you.
