The Skill Engineer is set to launch Digi Van, an empowering initiative aimed at helping young people create digital content that reflects their unique voices and community narratives.
The official launch event will take place at 1pm on July 26 at the Skillion, Terrigal.
Skill Engineer CEO Maggie MacFie said the exciting initiative would provide an opportunity for young creators to showcase their talents and make their voices heard.
Funded by the NSW Government’s Regional Youth Investment Program, Digi Van will guide participants towards creative digital pathways.
The van will visit various locations, including youth centres, community centres and high schools, directly engaging with young individuals and immersing them in the world of multimedia.
Through the initiative, young creators will have a platform to share their perspectives and stories, reaching a wide audience through The Skill Engineer’s multimedia platforms.
MacFie said multimedia plays a pivotal role in shaping youth’s self-perception and fostering active participation.
It is an essential component of modern culture, entertainment and societal transformation, she said.
Digi Van has already made a special appearance at the 2023 Central Coast Community NAIDOC Celebrations, where teenagers worked alongside The Skill Engineer’s MobPod team to capture the wisdom and stories of elders.
In close collaboration with the community, Digi Van aims to serve as a dynamic and vibrant outlet for joy and creativity.
It is an opportunity to showcase exceptional local talent while empowering youth and making a positive impact.
