Flood Stories from Main Arm Upper Public School Part 1 - Young Legends
Enjoy part 1 of Young Legends - Flood Stories from Main Arm Upper Public School. This episode explores the young peoples' direct experiences of floods that occurred in the Northern Rivers in 2022.
Young Legends - Flood Stories is an integrated arts, recovery, & wellbeing project that focuses on the cathartic experience of storytelling. This project focuses on the format of podcasting, which is a personal and public experience.
Grade 5 & 6 from Main Arm Upper Public School were supported by trained youth workers as they told their personal experiences of the devastating floods of 2022 in the Northern Rivers. Such supported storytelling built resilience and provided a cathartic experience for young people ‘to feel lighter’ after telling their stories.
This project was made possible by funding from the Regional Youth Radio Program from the NSW Government Department of Regional NSW.
This podcast was produced by Monet Shortland, Rasela Torise and Lealah Shostak and managed by the Byron Youth Service Inc.
