Introduction

The concept for the Lost Generation Project was borne out of a four year partnership between DADAA Inc.
and the Disability Services Commission’s Accommodation Services Directorate (DSC ASD).

Mission

DADAA, Disability Services Commission Accommodation Services Directorate and the Western Australian
community working in collaboration to reconnect individuals to their communities through art.

Goals

1. Develop local and cross-sector partnerships that sustain the project through tangible resources
2.  Develop relationships between staff, stakeholders and partners to support individuals to participate,
identify, and achieve their aspirations as community citizens
3. Work with local governments to support inclusivity across all areas of service delivery

How will the project work?

The project is complex and revolves around the central aims of assisting the participants to connect to their
communities through arts and culture.

The project is designed to have six month cycles that begin with in-house workshops offering participants
two and three dimensional visual arts, dance and music.

The project is designed to work with local government and other interested community stakeholders.

Each project participant or storyteller will be offered the opportunity to make a short film.

Three coordinators with community development, artistic and organisational skills provide the link
between core participants/storytellers, families, Disability Services Commission staff, arts and film
teams, community members  and local government.
