#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Journey back in time to the turn of the twentieth century. Explore Australia in 1900, from the different foods, schools and transport to the changes happening in wider society, such as the suffragist movement. Learn how authors use real stories from history to inspire their words and delicately balance fact and fiction. Charlotte will leave students with plenty of techniques for writing their own stories as well as inspiring them to use their voices to mould the future.
