Living in Harmony Youth and Media Project Training Manual

This manual was developed from a pilot program funded by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to the Migrant Information Centre (Eastern Melbourne) in 2007. The project was designed as a response to the impact of world events on young people from non Anglo/Saxon backgrounds who expressed frustration that media was quick to identify race and/or ethnicity in reporting crime or negative events in the community.

The program included training young people from a range of cultural backgrounds to organise a presentation/forum for others (youth groups, local forums, churches, mosques, etc.) on how to analyse media reports and constructively respond to negative images of ethnic groups in the media. The manual details the activities that were used to train the young people. To download the manual please click here
