Celebrating the Australian Heritage Festival:
This short writing program is being held to empower our community members to write or be inspired to start an account or story of their own, or connect to the events of an ancestor’s life. The focus will be on sharing family histories through story.
Participants will be offered information and examples and learn skills through enjoyable writing exercises. Each workshop will include time dedicated to writing freely, and expert guidance in bringing to life in words participants’ chosen stories, whether a snapshot in time of a past time or an anecdote from family history.
