Project O is a prevention initiative driving change for young women in rural, regional and high needs communities
Project O drives change in high needs communities where gender inequality is a pressing issue for young women.
Through this primary prevention program young women develop new skills and learn how to connect to their community, using their unique voices to campaign for change.
It builds gender equality locally through grassroots action, highlighting the leadership of young women and their potential to be change makers.
Project O currently operates in 2 communities: Wynyard, TAS and Frankston, VIC.
PROJECT O PRESENTS: COLOURATHON
Colourathon is a positive and vibrant art-marathon raising funds to assist young children experiencing violence.
This flagship event was developed by the young women of Project O, bringing community, families, artists, musicians, and leaders together to raise awareness and funds for family violence prevention.
PROJECT O PRESENTS “O” THE PLAY
“O” is a tour de force performance designed to tour nationally and internationally.
Based on Ophelia’s story in Hamlet, “O” play makes use of a dark metaphor hidden in Shakespeare. There are 31,000 words in Hamlet, and Ophelia is given about 1,000 – a literary glass ceiling.
Development for the theatrical work occurs in the community setting, with an acclaimed writer, director and performer weaving the personal stories of participants into the stage presentation: a reframing of Ophelia’s narrative, driven by young women.
