Stolen Generations Truth Telling Grants support First Nations media makers to develop and document survivor centred, commemorative focused stories (e.g. in the form of podcasts, radio series, documentary, video, animation) exploring cultural themes and truth-telling relating to Stolen Generations.
The resulting stories must first be broadcast on community radio/TV or online platforms and will be shared with the CBF and Healing Foundation for their promotion.
The objective of Stolen Generations Truth Telling grants is to support the development and broadcast of culturally sensitive, survivor and descendant led and/or centred stories. These grants will help educate more Australians about the scale and impact of the forced removal of thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from families and community over many decades.
This objective aligns with:
- The CBF’s Reconciliation Action Plan's vision whereby the knowledge, cultures and stories of First Nations people are amplified, heard and honoured.
- The Healing Foundation’s focus on increasing the testimonials of Stolen Generations, and greater public understanding of the Stolen Generations.
