Seeking Support to Nurture Young Storytellers

Newcastle Writers Festival is seeking support for its unique Story Hunter program to foster the next generation of Australian writers.

---

The festival is calling on local businesses and individuals to 'adopt a class' and help Story Hunter reach more students, especially those in need.

The curriculum-aligned program is unique to the Hunter region and takes trained local authors into primary schools to deliver engaging, playbased writing workshops that develop creativity and literacy skills.

Tax-deductible donations help the festival to offset costs and offer these workshops for free to disadvantaged schools. The donations ensure that local writers can be paid a fair wage for their work and help give kids the opportunity to have their stories published in anthologies or displayed in the community.

By adopting a student, a class, or a whole school, supporters can help equip a new generation of Hunter writers with the skills and confidence to tell their stories. Visit www.givenow.com.au/ADOPTACLASS to donate today!
