Hear from Lindsay, a teacher at Nerang State High School who shares the impact The Indie Project has had on the students who participated in the Gold Coast inclusive music program.

The Indie Project is not “just” a music program. Songwriting, recording and producing a music video is simply the icing on the cake. The real focus is on increasing a young person’s connection to their peers, increasing their skills and knowledge for decision making and increasing their independence.

The main topics covered in the program are:

  • Connection
  • Communication
  • Identity
  • Wellbeing
  • Relationships
  • Hopes and Dreams
  • Problem Solving

 

The Indie Project is funded by The Australian Government Department of Health Disability and Ageing.
