Pasifika young people: a video

This is a short video about young people from the Pasifika community in Melbourne facing problems at schools. 

This video was co-created with Pasifika young people. It shows their struggles when teachers don't understand young people have other responsibilities outside of school.

The video came from 2 workshops led by Monash ActionLab with young Pasifika people in Melbourne's south-east. 

During the first workshop:

  • the young people talked about using media, like videos, to talk about their community's issues
  • they decided on the theme of the video.

A young person from the Centre of Multicultural Youth then created the video. 

Later, in the second workshop:

  • young people provided feedback
  • ActionLab provided feedback. 

The young person creating the video then improved it to its final version.
