Multicultural Perspectives on Health and Wellbeing/Group multimedia presentation

Shadow puppets are a traditional form of communication in Indonesia. Might this be a resourceful way to make video?

In a team, create a 3-minute video on health issues that may be affecting one of these population groups: Indigenous, immigrants and refugees. In your video you are to explain or give examples of how people's backgrounds can influence their health and wellbeing. Discuss the barriers and enablers the population group may experience in accessing healthcare services.

Presentations by video have become a key communication skill in today's media-rich world.
