Testimonials

Parallel Wilds is a fun, creative and adventurous outlet for young people in the community. – Destini Warren, Youth & Inclusion Officer, Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council, NSW

Our students thoroughly enjoyed working with Parallel Wilds to produce their unique videography piece. The students were highly engaged in the filming, sound recording, researching and creative writing.  We were all impressed with the standard of work they produced, and this has inspired our students to pursue further use of technology in their learning. – Cathy Crick, Principal – Uranquinty Public School, NSW

On behalf of Albury City Council, I am writing to express our full endorsement and enthusiastic support for the Parallel Wilds project. This remarkable initiative has proven to be a powerful force in fostering creativity, environmental awareness, and social engagement among our region’s youth.

We are especially proud of the recent iteration of Parallel Wilds that took place in the David Mitchell Wetlands at Charles Sturt University in Thurgoona. This project, funded by Albury City, involved 16 talented youth from Albury who worked collaboratively to envision a speculative universe, drawing on their research of native species such as Sloaneā€™s Froglet.

Albury City Council believes that Parallel Wilds is a vital initiative that aligns with our commitment to supporting youth development, environmental and innovative educational practices. We are proud to continue our partnership with this project and look forward to seeing its ongoing positive influence on our community. – Mandy Wilson, Youth Development Officer, Albury City, NSW
