Hunter Writers Centre: A Welcoming Community
Hunter Writers Centre wants to ensure that people with disability can fully participate in all the activities that we offer. We are committed to including all within our community who are interested in writing. Hunter Writers Centre wants to lead the way in our local community by including people with disability in everything we do. In 2015 we undertook a variety of exciting programs: On the Air Waves Five Year 6 Hunter students interviewed 5 storytellers to find out their experience of living with a disability. This was a great opportunity for the children to develop an awareness of disability, radio, the role of the interviewer, storytelling and reflecting. It was also a chance for our storytellers to share their lived experience of disability.
