Story Ground for Secondary Students
Event description
About this event
Interested in telling your story? This short course will allow students the opportunity to be mentored by Dr. Paul Collis and Ms Andi Stapp-Gaunt in the creation of works that reflect their engagement with Aboriginal ways of thinking, knowing, being and valuing.
All students are welcome, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students are encouraged to attend. The course offers a safe and supportive environment for the creation of new ideas and works.
Students will be guided by Dr Paul Collis, author of Dancing Home (a novel) and Nightmares Run Like Mercury (poetry), to understand how Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and valuing are connected to story. Students may choose to work with story in a variety of ways, through oral, written or visual modes.
This short course is designed for high school students in Years 10-12
