Busy, busy, busy – as well as writing her latest novel (The Visitor) and curating a series of exciting new Blak & Bright First Nation Literary Festival satellite events (Byron Writers Festival, Mountain Writers Festival, The Wheeler Centre, & AESOP NAIDOC) Jane has been touring schools with the Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival Schools Program. Like our State Library Victoria events for secondary students and librarians, it’s a super popular series of workshops that brings together a shared passion for stories and learning.
Look out for our 2023 State Library Victoria Education program!
As part of the 2022 Blak & Bright First Nations Literary Festival we hosted our first-ever education day in partnership with State Library Victoria. Following a day-long event for secondary students, a teacher PD session was held in the State Library Victoria Theatrette to discuss, explore, listen and learn about ‘how to teach Blak literature’.
We invite you to listen to this conversation featuring writers Bruce Pascoe and Thomas Mayor, along with educators Edie Wright, Lynette George and Carmel Byrne. It is moderated by author and academic Kelly Gardiner.
