Short Film: "Sound"
Rali Hamasalih/ Youth Worx Productions -
Feburary 2012
EastWeb recently provided funding to assist in the development of a short film by young Kurdish film maker Rali Hamasalih. The film, titled “Sound” will share Rali’s experiences, as well as the experiences of others, of growing up around war and conflict. The aim of the film is to create greater understanding in the community about the refugee and asylum seeker experience, through the story of a young Kurdish man who has just arrived in Australia, and who experiences shock when watching a fireworks display, when others around him are enjoying themselves. For the young man, the sound reminds him of the war and brings back difficult memories.
Rali will work with actors from the local community and others to create the film, and also has support from Youth Worx Productions and the Spectrum Migrant Resource Center.

Computer Training for Refugee Women
Women's Health in the South East -
December 2011
Australia is a digital society, and to have the greatest change to succeed, information technology skills are essential. This project will train at least thirty women who have arrived in Australia as refugees or humanitarian entrants and who live in the Southern Metropolitan region of Melbourne in Information Technology skills.
For women who have arrived in Australia as refugees or humanitarian entrants, IT has played little significance in their lives, as they have primarily been focused on safety, security and survival.
Participants will be taught how to use the practical functions of the computer as well as how to use the internet, email and microsoft applications.

Liberian New Life Radio Program Training
Liberian Community Action for Unity, Social and Economic Development -
December 2011
Many Liberian refugees in Victoria, like most African refugees, face various resettlement barriers including social isolation, long-term unemployment and lack of voice in the media. This community is a newly emerging refugee community in Victoria and as such is amongst the voiceless in terms of access to media service on community radio stations.
In association with The National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters’ Council (NEMBC) this project will continue the establishment of a media service for the Liberian community.
EastWeb recently granted funds to further develop the start-up radio program is called “Liberian NewLife Radio”. The program aims to provide quality information to community members as an inspiration for new and better ways of dealing with everyday life challenges. Through this program we will bring our community together and give them a voice because currently we don’t have any other way to communicate this information besides regular community meetings.
The funding will cover training for future presenters - ten young people of Liberian descent living in various parts of Melbourne including Sunshine, St. Albans, Footscray, Moonee Ponds, Collingwood, Preston, Reservoir, Dandenong - to ensure sustainability of the radio station.
