Looking for meaningful ways to spend your summer? Here are three ways to combine learning, entertainment, and global solidarity:
1. Support media freedom in Myanmar through film
Watch powerful films through the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) Film Festival, curated by DVB English News. Access to the full film library is available via a A$29.99 per month subscription, which goes directly to supporting media freedom in Myanmar. It’s a meaningful way to hear independent voices and support journalists working under extreme repression.
2. Take an online course on the history of labour movements worldwide
Deepen your understanding of workers’ struggles across the globe with the Labour History course by the Global Labour University. The course connects historic labour movements with today’s fights for decent work and social justice.
3. Watch a documentary on unfair global supply chains
Learn how everyday consumer choices affect workers around the world by watching From Bangladesh to Australia: How the Fast Fashion Supply Chain Works from SBS Dateline. The documentary exposes the realities of global supply chains and the human cost behind fast fashion.
This summer, make your downtime count—watch, learn, and stand in solidarity with workers and media freedom movements worldwide.
