Activity: A place-based screen storytelling learning programme delivered across the Bay of Plenty, supporting diverse communities to develop the skills and confidence to translate lived and cultural stories into screen narratives through a combination of workshops and story labs. The programme focuses on learning rather than production, creating space for participants to explore story, voice, and perspective in a supported environment. Key sessions will be captured and developed into a digital learning resource, extending the programme’s impact beyond immediate participants and supporting ongoing access for educators and emerging creatives.
