Refugees, Asylum Seekers, Indigenous people: Tell your story!



A great opportunity currently exists for individuals who are refugees, asylum seekers, Indigenous Australians or indeed, from any marginalized group to tell their story. This is being made possible through Hive Television.


Hive Television is a project initiated by The Hive Creative Centre Inc, which is sponsored by the Fellowship of Australian Writers (FAW) and the Federal Attorney General's Building Community Resilience Program.

The project will develop the skills of marginalized people in cross-cultural media initiatives and link traditional and Internet social media to raise awareness of community issues such as violence, extremism, religious intolerance and the persecution of minority groups. The project aims to build and reinforce resilience to messages of intolerance and violent extremism and promote inclusive and safe Australian communities.

They are currently calling for film makers and story tellers from people of diverse cultural backgrounds who have either made a feature, documentary or short film that has not yet been screened, with the view of offering audience feedback, film exposure and assistance for future projects. Hive Television can assist with infrastructure, equipment and experience. They are also hoping to assist those new to Australia who wish to express their feelings through creative writing. 

Interested people or community organizations should contact:
