Running Writing Workshops

September 9, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm AEST

Are you?

Are you a writer with an urge to teach writing? Learn all about the theory and practice of teaching creative writing in this dedicated workshop for women writers of colour and Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander women writers. This workshop has been made possible with donations from an anonymous donor. However, it is presented in partnership with Mascara Literary Journal.

The workshop is free, but registrations are essential to secure your place. Please note that this workshop is for women and non-binary writers of colour.

About Stephanie Armstrong

Stephanie is a Gamilaraay woman from a large extended family from northern NSW. She is a trained primary school teacher, having taught for over 35 years in rural, remote and urban contexts. This has provided her with the skills and experiences she requires in both her consultancy business and her personal life. Stephanie is on many local committees and on the Worawa (Aboriginal girls school) advisory board.

She has presented at national and state levels on Aboriginal education and internationally on her work with peace and reconciliation. Her role in the community has continued to grow as she works in providing leadership and understanding of cultural safety, working respectfully and in a cultural interface.

Please note: Peril provides these details as a courtesy, but we’re not in charge of the events, so please don’t harrass us if the Facebook page is down for a particular event – unless we make that really really clear, in which case you’ll know because we’ll probably be hounding to you come along.

We’re free to access and want to keep it that way. If you want to ensure Asian Australian voices – in all their diversity and complexity – continue to be heard, please consider making a donation.
