Music Video Workshop

April 29, 2025

We're pleased to share the music video 'Galiwin'ku is our home'

As part of our Active Communities School Holiday Program and NT Youth Week, the East Arnhem Regional Council (EARC) team engaged SoundED to deliver an exciting music video workshop over three days. This initiative brought together creativity, community, and the joy of music from the remote Community of Galiwin'ku.


We are thrilled to share the music video 'Galiwin'ku is our home' created during the workshop! Participants explored their musical talents and learnt new skills, from songwriting and sound recording to filming and editing. The workshop received fantastic community engagement led by EARC Active Communities Coordinator Evellena Wanambi and SoundED's Wayne Glenn. Thank you to the Northern Territory Government for supporting this program through the Active Regional and Remote Communities program. Finally, a special thank you to everyone involved.


Check out the music video below to see the incredible talent and creativity of our community in action!
