In our Digital Workshop Series, Stella brings Australia’s finest writers into your classroom on demand. Each workshop consists of a 45 minute pre-recorded video with supporting exercises and worksheets, and can be watched in the classroom or at home. Designed to assist teachers in remote-learning contexts, these flexible workshops can also supplement classroom teaching.
Writing Self-Care
with Evelyn Araluen
2022 Stella Prize winner
Workshop duration:
45 minutes
Young people today are living through a time of increasing instability and uncertainty. Yet everyday we see more and more evidence of young people speaking up and out against injustice.
Writing through conflict, precariousness and trauma helps document the world we live in, to provide witness for the things that we can change, and to give voice to feelings that don’t always get to be heard.
This workshop explores the relationship between writing and self-care to explore tools and forms that can help shape and develop your voice.
Autobiographical Comics

Comics artist
Workshop duration:

Writing for performance
with Vidya Rajan
Writer, comedian and performance-maker
Workshop Duration:
60 minutes
