A short film entitled ‘Your Move’ was launched by Greater Shepparton City Council in partnership with Victoria Police Shepparton and Wanganui Park Secondary College today.
The project is funded as part of Victorian Government’s Community Crime Prevention Program and will be accessible on YouTube.
This five minute film is aimed at 10-18 year olds and is intended as an educational tool to raise awareness of the possible consequences of graffiti vandalism by highlighting some possible alternatives.
Project consultant, Aiden Keath’s experience and perspective as a youth worker provided the theme for the film and his enthusiasm and effort is gratefully acknowledged.
Council is asking all schools in the Shepparton region to partner with it in this project by incorporating the DVD and surveys into their curriculum.
They will be receiving DVD kits this week which include student surveys providing an opportunity for them to make suggestions for possible future Council or community activities.
Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure Steve Bowmaker said “The number of talented young people in our community never ceases to amaze and impress us and Council is keen to promote projects that encourage the use of that talent.
“I am told the students involved gained a lot from the experience during filming and working with Shepparton Police.
“The short film reinforces the message that the choices they make now will impact greatly on their futures.”
Wanganui student Daly Wilson said “it was great fun. The crew were fantastic. The final product is brilliant and we achieved what we set out to achieve.”
The video can be viewed on council’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/GreaterShepparton or on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?=dZhx23V_acI&feature=youtu.be
