Short films by primary school students across Australia & Japan

Community Banashi connects students, teachers and academics in Australia and Japan through the creative medium of storytelling.

The concept of “places” anchors this project, serving as currency to foster deep awareness and understanding between both countries. Australian expertise came into play, as students were mentored by film and language practitioners/experts to tell engaging stories of their locales. Short films were produced by students from diverse schools in Australia and Japan that include multilingual access through Japanese/ English/ Yolngu Matha.
