Abstract
The Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies (CERES) is located in Brunswick, Victoria, Australia. The staff at CERES wanted to further develop their Indonesian cultural village by connecting the cultural education program with their overarching theme of environmental sustainability. The goal of our project was to produce videos of personal narratives from individuals of Indonesian origin to enhance the cultural village exhibit at CERES. In order to achieve this goal, we conducted 22 in-depth interviews with Indonesians, and from the interviews, we discovered that flooding, industrialization, and water access were common environmental concerns among our interviewees. Videos on these topics were then produced with clips from the interviews. We recommend that CERES seamlessly integrates the videos with activities in the Indonesian cultural village to provide an immersive educational experience.
