Young people wanted for a happy project


The City of Bunbury is launching a brand new, exciting and most of all happy project for young people to get involved in.

The project will celebrate International Day of People with Disability as well as local young people’s diverse range of abilities and talents.

Bunbury young people of all abilities are encouraged to sign up to the City’s new Drug Aware Happy Bunbury film project.

The project has been inspired by the music video Happy by pop star Pharrell Williams.

Cities all over the world have started recreating the video which features residents dancing and lip-syncing to the song at various local landmarks.

The aim is to showcase a city, its diversity and its people and now Bunbury young people have the chance to do the same.

High school-aged young people of all abilities have the opportunity to work with a professional media production house to design and film their own music video demonstrating what makes them happy.

The content will then be compiled into one final Drug Aware Happy Bunbury video.

It will then be released via social media on December 3 2014 to coincide with International Day of People with Disability, celebrating Bunbury’s inclusive and accessible community.

Participants will be required to attend two half-day workshops on Saturday 20 and 27 September and will then film throughout the October school holidays.

Participants will also be in the running to win one of the video cameras used for filming.

Registrations are essential for this exciting opportunity and interested people can call or email Isabell Evans on 9792 7075 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Registration forms can also be found on the City of Bunbury website (click on Community and then Access and Inclusion or Youth). Registrations open Monday 1 September and close Wednesday 17 September.

Young people of all abilities are encouraged to register and will be supported to participate; please call the City to discuss how we can adapt the project to any specific needs.

The Drug Aware Happy Bunbury film project is proudly sponsored by Country Arts WA and by Healthway to promote the Drug Aware message.
