Over the week of 30 November to 4 December, 30 students from secondary colleges around Victoria came together to ‘step up’. Inspired by their experiences at Cityscape with their classmates, these individuals applied for the opportunity to take their knowledge to the next level, and discover their potential for impact.
The week long camp involved a series of interactive discovery sessions, in which students challenged themselves and each other to step out of their comfort zones, and learn about the impact they have on themselves, others, and the world. The result was an emotional week that led the students, mentors and facilitators to a better understanding of their abilities and responsibilities.
Workshops included a hip-hop dance class, African drumming circle, community conversations with some of Melbourne’s most interesting and influential people, and many other creative and educational events.
The culmination of the week saw each of six mentor groups presenting their most influential moments and activities, teaching their new knowledge, and reliving the journey that took them from strangers to friends in five short days, in a final ‘Step Up Celebaloo’ for over 100 family members and friends.
Watch this space for some upcoming honest and personal responses recorded by students throughout the week.
