The Cherbourg MoJos (mobile journalists) have posted their first stories online.<\/p>\n

The first short video was shot at Jack O’Chin Oval in Cherbourg on May 11 during the Hornets v Nanango Stags A Grade league game.<\/p>\n

The second was filmed on the same day at the\u00a0Bunya Mountains Murri Ranger Community Day which was held at Dandabah on the Bunya Mountains.<\/p>\n

This event included a welcome to country and smoking ceremony, performances and a dance workshop by the Wakka Wakka dancers, a kup murri, yarning circles \u00a0and \u00a0a guided walk with the Murri Rangers.<\/p>\n

The Cherbourg MoJo program is being run by the Southern Queensland Institute of TAFE.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 10-week mobile journalism training program for indigenous youth (aged 15-24) is designed to give a new, engaging twist to learning literacy and numeracy.<\/p>\n

After an initial week of training with the iPhone5-based production kit, the Cherbourg MoJos have been working with members of their community to take Cherbourg\u2019s stories to the world.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg MoJo Shantelle Arnold sees a lot of potential for stories.<\/p>\n

“I’m enjoying MoJo lots \u2013 it’s a good experience. I’d like to use my new filmmaking skills to make a documentary someday myself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The plan is for the MoJos to post a new collection of videos online<\/strong><\/a> every week.<\/p>\n
