Words that changed the world - schools workshop
This event is now in the past.
State Library’s Writer in Residence Kelly Gardiner presents free creative writing workshops for students.
Q: Which books have been banned most often in the US?
A: The Harry Potter series.
Why? Why do some countries ban facebook or Google? Who would burn books and libraries?
This is a workshop about words and ideas that changed the world – and the forces that tried to stop them. Suitable for students in Years 9-10.
Kelly is the author of the Swashbuckler trilogy for young readers, and Act of Faith, a young adult novel about books, freedom and ideas.
Workshop Times: Fri 8 or Tue 12 June | 10am-11.30am or 12noon-1.30pm
