First Nations Media Training | 30.05.24

This training is a closed space for First Nations people only.

Build your confidence and skills in telling your story, speaking up on issues that affect your community and learning how to engage with media such as radio, newspaper and television to shift the narrative and win campaigns for First Nations justice.

The workshop is based on the principles from the Passing the Message Stick, a groundbreaking message research project that has been designed to find the messages that build widespread support for transformative change on First Nations justice and self-determination.

The workshop will be facilitated by Jedda Costa and Tarneen Onus Browne.
