Duration: 60 minutes
Join Randa Abdel-Fattah as she presents a series of ideas on engaging students with stories in a meaningful way, highlighting the importance of YA fiction.
Randa has used her writing, in all its forms, to express her views about racism, multiculturalism, human rights, the occupation of Palestine and asylum seekers. From her bestselling novel Does My Head Look Big In This to her most recent book When Michael Met Mina (Pan Macmillan), Randa’s works continuously create accessible pathways for readers to meaningfully discuss difficult and urgent social issues.
