The Border region is hosting film premieres with a difference as students from three local high schools examine how university education can help Australian communities be more sustainable.The five short films have been produced from photos and video footage taken by students as part of the Learning Communities project run by Charles Sturt University's (CSU) Institute for Land, Water and Society.In a 'trip of a lifetime' nearly 300 Year 10 and 11 students from Murray and James Fallon High Schools and Wodonga Senior Secondary College travelled for five days to speak with representatives from CSU in Albury-Wodonga and Melbourne and Deakin universities.They also met environmental champions from Sea Shepherd, Environmental Justice Australia, Voices of the Valley and the Australian Youth Climate Coalition and learnt how they could help address sustainability problems, regardless of the career paths they chose.CSU lecturer Dr Marie Sheahan said, "The students saw first-hand how university courses and their careers can have lasting influences on the sustainability of the community, particularly in ensuring all citizens have access to caring professionals who can help them."The next film by Year 10 students from Murray High school will be launched with their parents and friends at CSU in Albury-Wodonga from 6pm on Tuesday 27 October. All films will be shown free to the public at the Flourish Festival being held at CSU in Albury-Wodonga off Elizabeth Mitchell Drive, Thurgoona on Saturday 14 November, starting at 2pm.
