With around 13,000 attendees each year, our Schools’ Program is Australia’s biggest literary festival for students. This year, we’re thrilled to welcome leading Australian voices including Randa Abdel-Fattah, Maxine Beneba Clarke, Morris Gleitzman, Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, as well as creator and editor-in-chief of global website Muslim Girl, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh. Across a diverse range of events, our artists will engage and inspire young people to discuss books, writing and creativity. In this rapidly changing world, the MWF Schools’ Program examines who we are as individuals within the global community, exploring themes of identity and belonging, gender and race. We look at bullying in a society permeated by social media, and discover how to do what we love and follow our dreams. From talks and walks to poetry and drawing, each Schools’ Program event is designed to spark conversations between young readers and writers. Open a world of imagination with fantasy universes and Harry Potter, or get an inside look at the publishing industry with our hands-on workshops. Our diverse program has something to get every student writing, illustrating, investigating, thinking and questioning. I look forward to welcoming your school to the Festival.
