High school students use their voice

Lecturers from Charles Sturt’s School of Communication and Information Studies collaborated with 20 senior high school students from Bathurst to create a series of podcasts. Supported by a Sustainability at Charles Sturt project grant and overseen by Bachelor of Communication lecturers, these original audio episodes explore youth experiences related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Initial workshops, held at Kelso and Bathurst campuses of Denison College by academics Zoe Rodwell and Travis Holland, allowed students to brainstorm ideas about self, community, and education in relation to the SDGs. Following these workshops, students gathered at the Bathurst Communication precinct for a full day of podcast scripting and recording.
