Abstract

This report describes a dynamic ‘Co-creative Media System’ that is emerging in the social space bounded by the following institutional pillars: 

• major cultural institutions (including screen culture agencies, libraries, museums, galleries and public service broadcasters)
• the Community Arts and Cultural Development sector (historically supported through various programs of the Australia Council for the Arts) 
• the community broadcasting sector
• the Indigenous media sector, and
• the higher education sector.

It illustrates how this system activates the immense creative potential of the Australian population through the ongoing development and application of participatory storytelling methods and media.
