Suburban Sandcastles presents 'May I be Happy'

This film explores the importance of Mindfulness practice in transforming the lives of young people. By learning tools to become more present we can teach students to recognise their emotions as a healthy process, align with their inner truth and build resilience for what life presents. Given the stress that our world currently presents us with, this film is an insightful opportunity for principals, teachers, lectures, parents, students and welfare supports to explore the importance of mindfulness practice to assist in improving learning outcomes. Throughout this film Mindfulness practice is modelled in these American Primary, High School and Youth Service settings by mindfulness teachers.

Suburban Sandcastles is very much about bringing community together to communicate about important issues of our time. We thank you in advance for considering sharing this event. The film has the potential to impact on everyone and I’m sure a movement that will only increase over the coming years.

Coastal Conscience Presents: How deep are your pockets

Barwon Coast has partnered with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Victoria Police, CFA, City of Greater Geelong and Ocean Grove Coastcare under the Share Our Shores campaign to advocate behavioural change amongst youth engaging in destructive and dangerous dune behaviour.

Barwon Coast Committee of Management Inc. is appointed by state government to manage 13km of coastal Crown land from 7W Collendina to 42W Connewarre on behalf of all Victorians. Our main charter is for the protection and enhancement of natural values within our estate, whilst providing a place for people to recreate. In addition to natural resource protection, a key responsibility for us is to manage risk to ensure the safety of all users of our reserves.

Our coastal reserves are under constant pressures as populations both locally and visiting the area increase. As a consequence Barwon Coast launched our Share Our Shores campaign late 2017 to create awareness on a number of coastal issues the community has identified. Issues identified are beach-overcrowding, littering, dogs’ off-leash, threats to wildlife and sand dune damage. Over the last few years there has been a significant increase in youth parties within the dunes, which has led to vegetation vandalism, dune destruction, significant littering and the lighting of fires. We anticipate the stronger message will change this dangerous behaviour and engage the youth to take ownership of the natural environment in a positive way.
