The Cherbourg MoJo Project is a 10 week mobile journalism training program running at Nurunderi (Cherbourg) Campus of Southern Queensland Institute of TAFE (SQIT) for Indigenous and Youth (15-19  year old) clients. The Cherbourg MoJos will learn digital storytelling using iPhones so that they can tell stories about their community. They will gain real job skills, be capable of freelance journalism work and will improve their reading, writing, speaking, listening and maths skills at the same time.

TAFE Queensland English Language and Literacy Services (TELLS) is running the program in conjunction with SQIT and Burum Media as part of the Commonwealth funded Language, Literacy & Numeracy Program (LLNP). Ivo Burum, founder of Burum Media, has been developing the mojo program for more than two decades and will deliver the MoJo training component to teachers and students at Nurunderi TAFE.
