Sunrise on the Pilbara
September 28th, 2009 § 0
This morning, I woke up extra early (5:30) to go and watch the sunrise over the Pilbara alone.
Today, i'll get introduced to the local neighborhood center (to watch some workshops in session with Elias) and then I;ll go to meet up with Lee – our community contact here who's currently coordinating a local community festival of work created by kids this past few weeks. Tomorrow, Shakthi and I take a 3.5 hr trip to Marble Bar (or 'MAHble BAH' as they say here:), population, 194. We'll be there doing either storymapping, djing or recording workshops (with what ever technology we have/can find) for the next week, than back here to Newman for a week long Cultural Leaders Workshop (community organizing/storytelling with available technology) and then into the classrooms storymapping/digital media workshops until early November… Now, off to the the Neighbourhood Centre!Brekkie Before the Pilbara

Newman Class Schedule for 12th-18th, October
September 26th, 2009 § 0
After having a great session with Shakthi about classes in Newman, I think we’ve got a schedule down. These classes could of course change, depending on our initial assesments of resources and skill level of the kids out in Newman, but I’m pretty confident we’re going to have some fun nonetheless.
I can’t believe I get paid to do this. Stay tuned for our Cultural Leaders Training schedule and outline which covers community/individual assesment, communications goals. Popular Education/New Media Philosophy and Approaches as well as some hard core skills in Event Management and Volunteer Coordination.
So jazzed.
