BE THE CHANGE is a community project and roadshow of the award-winning Australian documentary, The Burning Season. The BE THE CHANGE pilot project involes a team visiting schools and communities in regional NSW and helping young people 'be the change they want to see in the world'. To date, the team have visited Merriwa, Coffs Harbour, Mullumbimby, Bellingen, Gloucester and Camden Haven. Follow-up visits, and documentation of the action taken by the students is currently underway.
The response so far has been enthusiastic, and at times, quite moving. As one student expressed it: "it has been amazing to do something so different. Instead of learning out of textbooks and reading off the whiteboard, we became personally invested in the issues and this has helped to understand our place in the real world".
