School holiday activity: Creative young adults workshop with Brooke Blurton and Dr Melanie Saward

Overview

Join Brooke Blurton and Dr Melanie Saward for a creative writing and drawing school holiday activity at the National Library.

In this hands-on creative workshop, young writers and storytellers will be inspired by the incredible work of youth advocate and media personality Brooke Blurton and author and academic Melanie Saward. Their brand new YA series, beginning with A Good Kind of Trouble explores truth-telling, culture and sexuality through the story of Noongar teenager and footy player, Jamie.

Participants will be encouraged to think about how they will bring their own stories and characters to life and learn tips and creative techniques to take their writing to the next level.

This activity is suitable for young people between the ages of 13 and 17 years of age. All drawing and writing materials will be supplied.
