This animation was made towards the early half of 2007 in which we converted a static / photo book into an animation. The animation is about a granny talking to a group of children about the impacts that tobacco has had on her, her family and her community. This production or module as we refer to in HITnet will be located on every one of our touchscreens kiosks nationally within the coming months. To find out where out kiosks are currently located please click here.

The NSPS and HITnet has provided the opportunity for Yarrabah to tell their story to other communities and groups and create a culturally safe environment for the target communities to collectively define, commit to, and engage in their own change process.

Specifically the result was to enhance the capacity and to equip participating communities with tools and pathways to promote a foundation of resilience, replacing self-harm and suicide as an option, 'solution' and communication with positive life promoting skills that facilitate young peoples' exercise of healthful choices and control of destiny.

Healing Spirits - Bularu Yealamucka is now in post production and will be available on our network of touchscreens in early 2008.

When HITnet engages with a community or organisation to fulfil a need by community in regards to new media production, HITnet always ensures cultural and community protocols are adhered to. For example what are HITnet to do if an elder passes away who is in one of the productions; these terms and conditions are negotiated with elders and community members.

As all content comes from community and is created by community, HITnet is aimed at empowering community members on the ground with the skills necessary to create their own local content. Later this year HITnet will be embarking on a WA roadtrip providing necessary content creation skills such as digital photography, creation of photo docos and short movies, and small graphic design components. This will ensure that community create beautiful content that they can be proud of and in turn upload to our network of kiosks for all of Australia to see.

Discussions have taken place about the creation of a child sexual safety module to be placed onto our network of kiosks, and for an iDVD to be created. Stay tuned to see further updates on this area.
