Mirchi Sushi Crab
Mirchi Sushi Crab was a radio project supported by the (former) Department of Victorian Communities. The project aimed to provide international students an opportunity to be involved in community radio, where their voices could be heard by thousands of people per week. Approximately 60 volunteers were involved, gaining experience in presenting on radio, preparing scripts, researching information, panelling for radio, etc. The preparation of this project began in 2004.
Participants from the project gained enough confidence that they were inspired to develop two other radio projects and ran it entirely on their own. The 2 projects were Dr What which explored health issues for young people and Steak and Chopsticks which explored young Asians living in Melbourne.
Vestra
Vestra was a multicultural multimedia competition for international students, aiming to provide a platform for creative students to express multiculturalism in the form of multimedia. The awards night was held at the Victorian State Library.
