The Hospo Drinking Cultures Animation Screening Event was held at the Chisholm Institute, Dandenong campus, and was a catalyst to the implementation of animations in hospitality training. The event included a screening of the animated documentaries and a moderated panel, bringing together key voices and perspectives to discuss how we can effectively cultivate worker wellbeing and positive changes in the way alcohol is thought about and used within the hospitality sector.

The event was MC’d by Dr Ben Allitt, the Dean of the Higher Education College at Chisholm Institute. Speakers included Creative Director Isobel Knowles, Chisholm Hospitality Manager Carmel Cammarano, Research Lead Michael Savic, and the founder of Mental Health Safety Net Mick Simmons.
