Memory Lane A much sought after address - Bribie Nature Festival 2023 Poetry Workshop

On Friday 20th of October 2023, Professor Evonne Miller and Dr Sarah Johnstone coordinated a vibrant and inspiring workshop titled'Artful advocacy: creating poems for impact - a workshop exploring narratives of ageing, aged care, nature, and climate change' as part of the inaugural Bribie Island Nature Festival. In only 90 minutes, participants learned the hands-on methods of translating text into emotive and captivating 'found' poems. Participants could choose to focus on a key social issue (ageing and/or nature/climate change), and then create a poem reflecting their hopes, dreams, and fears.
