The advent of YouTube has brought with it a revolution in viewing entertainment. You could call it a game changer in the way it has democratised video distribution or the way it has placed the means to create films, programs and shows right into the hands of the average account-holder.

Vibewire Enterprise Hub resident Babushka Productions are a company that use drama based games and activities to empower and educate the youth of NSW. Vibewire accompanied Jennie Bradbury and Wendy Buswell to a workshop in Putney Primary School to see how they do it.

Question: What is the difference between artists who go on tours to showcase their talent at a variety of high-profile venues and, potentially, yourself?

Answer: Nothing.

‘It’s about friendships’ Faye Maramara, owner of the fashion design outfit Paro Paro told Vibewire.

Faye visited both Hong Kong Fashion Week and the India International Garment Fair and managed to view amazing wares, attend insightful seminars and breathe in the Eastern fashion culture. But, just as valuable if not more, she came back with contacts she can not only call her potential business partners, but also call her friends.

Social innovation begins with an idea in the individual, moves through the networks and explodes onto the global scene. Live Futures 2020 is providing youth an opportunity not to be missed.
