Workshops and Community Engagement
CuriousWorks has worked with councils, schools, community organisations and corporations across the country for over 10 years, delivering creative engagement, digital storytelling and filmmaking workshops that cater to a range of people and skill levels.
We use art and digital media to design and deliver workshop programs that strengthen people’s skills and confidence to share their stories, advocate for needs and celebrate cultural diversity and belonging.
Our professional facilitators work closely with the Curious Creators, our group of young media makers, to deliver a wide range of cultural engagement activities, events and programs with your clients or community. Our hands-on approach explores social and cultural issues and needs, directing the outcomes of engagement towards creating quality outcomes that share their stories during and beyond the workshops we deliver.
Through our ongoing deep engagement with diverse communities across Western Sydney, CuriousWorks also provides an Arts and Diversity Engagement Service for entertainment industry clients who are looking for assistance to connect with culturally diverse individuals and communities in Western Sydney.
