Windeward Bound has announced its first voyages along the East Coast of Australia and is inviting young people aged 14 to 17 to embark on a 10-day journey from Hobart to Sydney or from Sydney to Brisbane. Applications are closing soon, so don't miss out! Bursaries are available to help cover the cost of the voyage, making this exciting experience accessible to more young adventurers.

Our Journey | Anti-Racism Film Screening

‘Our Journey’ is a short film written, shot and edited by 16 young people from multicultural backgrounds with the support and direction of Lara van Raay. The film shares their stories of leaving their homelands, travelling to Australia and the ups and downs of settling in Hobart.

The 25-minute film will be followed by a Q and A panel where the young filmmakers will talk about their experiences and answer questions from the audience. The whole event will run for 60 minutes.

There will be two screening times on Tuesday 15 April: 2.00pm and 6.00pm at the Moonah Arts Centre.
