2020 Pitch

Funds Raised: $33,250


Word Travels has identified a need to build relationships with First Nations organisations in the areas where they run poetry slams. Miles pitched at TFN Virtual Live to hire an Indigenous education officer who will engage youth in communities across rural and regional Australia, increasing Indigenous participation in Word Travel's programs, workshops, performances and events.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
