Community uses of co-creative media - digital storytelling and co-creative media: the role of communityarts and media in propagating and coordinating population-wide creative practice

This report describes a dynamic 'Co-creative Media System' that is emerging in the social space bounded by the following institutional pillars: major cultural institutions (including screen culture agencies, libraries, museums, galleries and public service broadcasters), the Community Arts and Cultural Development sector (historically supported through various programs of the Australia Council for the Arts), the community broadcasting sector, the Indigenous media sector, and the higher education sector. It illustrates how this system activates the immense creative potential of the Australian population through the ongoing development and application of participatory storytelling methods and media.
