The My Community Matters initiative, launched by SBS, is all about celebrating the diversity of Australian communities. It invites all Australians to share the story of the their community for the chance to share it with the Prime Minister, as well as having it published on the SBS website. All you need to do is submit a 90 second video about why your community matters, highlighting the themes of belonging and participation in Australian society. The initiative encourages you to promote all aspects of community from local schools, to sporting clubs to neighbourhoods. All you have to do is submit your video by Friday 4 January 2013 for your chance to be recognised. Could be a perfect summer project!
