'Ollie's Island' - Australia 2007
Ollie’s Island is the third in a series of interactive edu-tainment
programs produced by Sustain Ability International Pty Ltd.
The Ollie’s Island Program uses the latest in multimedia
technology to deliver a state of the art edu-tainment program.
Its objective is to reconnect the consumer to the environmental,
social and economic impacts of their consumption so that they have
an understanding and appreciation of where everything they eat,
drink, use and wear comes from. The further objective is to encourage
the user to identify their role within the chain, so that they
recognise the potential positive outcomes of their own behavioural
changes towards more sustainable actions.
Like previous programs in the Ollie Suite, the Ollie’s
Island program is supported by a range of government, private and
industry organisations who can see the benefit of educating the
broader community about aspects of sustainable production and consumption.
Never before have this unique group come together to communicate
a combined message to the community. The fact that they have done
so in the new Ollie’s Island Program is testament to the
message of the program and the quality of the resulting educational
product.
The producers of the program will spend the next couple of years
working in communities to educate teachers, community leaders,
parents and students in how to best use the new Ollie’s Island
Program in their classroom and community activities.
