Research partner(s)
State Library of Queensland

This project explored how the experience of storytelling using new media can impact on Indigenous people’s sense of wellness. The Guugu Yimmithir people from the North Queensland community of Hopevale collaborated in this project as a means to engage their young people. The project aimed to collect and archive oral histories, cultural heritage and stories in a digital, portable format that can be accessed easily both by members of the community and the wider public.
