The Indigenous Futures High School Challenge offers a unique, hands-on experience designed for students eager to develop new skills, uncover their strengths, and ignite their passions, all while exploring the concept of an Indigenous Future within the creative industries.
Throughout this immersive program, high school students will engage in a series of dynamic activities and sessions, all centred around the creative industries on a University campus. With the guidance of experienced educators, facilitators, and mentors, participants will have the opportunity to think creatively and critically, transforming their ideas into meaningful work. By the end of the challenge, students will have the opportunity to showcase their talents and creativity together— leaving with new insights they can continue to build upon and adapt for university life in the future.
But the challenge is more than just skill-building; it’s about connection and inspiration. This program provides a valuable opportunity to collaborate with peers from different schools, build lasting networks, and draw inspiration from one another in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Whether you’re looking to discover your path in the creative industries or simply want to explore new possibilities, the Indigenous Futures High School Challenge is the perfect platform to develop your potential and envision an Indigenous Future for high school students that is both innovative and inspiring.
