See Us. Hear Us. is a project that aims to give a voice to those who often go unnoticed. "When words fail, music speaks." Shakespeare
The outreach program will utilise a van fitted out with recording equipment to travel to different places throughout Wodonga and outlying areas in regional Victoria. It will be staffed by a Youth Worker and Sound Engineer.
Social media will be engaged to update youth of where the van will be each week, a booking schedule, upload artists recordings, local music news, tips for songwriting and links to sites for artists to register with APRA etc

SUHU aims to give those that are least visible in our society the confidence to record and share their music. It will provide opportunities for young people who have disengaged due to family dysfunction, mental health, homelessness, intergenerational unemployment and poverty, to reconnect through music.
We will endeavour to liaise with local councils for permission to park at easily accessible public spaces and to advertise through local schools and agencies. Our target areas are mostly isolated communities where recording facilities and opportunities to work with professionals in the music industry don’t often present themselves to the youth.
