The BEATS project was developed to engage and inspire Aboriginal young people living on Thaua Country in the Yuin Nation, through providing opportunities to develop skills and to collaborate on the creation of an original song and dance/music video with professional artists. Over a six month period participants have been involved in workshops in songwriting, recording, sound mixing, dance, film making and editing, with the support of mentoring and Cultural teaching from local Aboriginal Artists.
