WALLARA is offering video production and editing training thanks to an RACV grant.
The Dandenong-based support service for adults with disabilities has expanded its WallaraTV project with the Good Citizen Program cash.
RACV’s Susan Allen visited the Potter Street headquarters on Wednesday 25 May to check out the new computers and video equipment in the editing suite.
WallaraTV has been running since 2012 to capture stories about inclusion and lift the lid on disability.
Wallara shares the stories on social media to educate through entertainment, and raise awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disabilities.
Jay Pinkster, Wallara’s digital communications manager, said the project had come a long way.
“We have produced over 130 videos with over 50,000 views on YouTube,” he said.
“WallaraTV has also produced three 30-minute shows on Channel 31 and Foxtel.
“RACV’s support will allow us to involve Wallara service users in every level of the video production process and help us take WallaraTV to the next level.”
