Free Story Factory Digital Workshops for Harmony Week
20 Feb 2023
Story Factory digital partners with schools to deliver creative writing programs that bring out the best in your students. Our programs are grounded in a robust pedagogical framework that ensures consistency of literacy outcomes and impacts for students of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
This Harmony Week Story Factory Digital is offering schools the opportunity to celebrate with specially designed free, online creative writing workshops.
Our educators will enter your classroom via zoom to create a fun, safe and meaningful writing environment where students can unpack this year’s theme – ‘everyone belongs’. We will take students through a series of scaffolded activities that lead to a substantial piece of writing, and share ideas and resources that you can use to continue your students’ writing journey after the program ends.
