01.01.2022 The first exclusively online Word for Word Festival has wrapped up we heard heartfelt tales that brought us to tears in On Young Shoulders, laughed out loud in Acting Up, felt compelled to action in Climate Crisis, and contemplated writing as activism during In Our Nature. Broadcast live from the Dome, we welcomed the festival's first international presenters. Each presenter and facilitator appeared from bedrooms, patios and study nooks all around the country and across the... globe. They spoke from the heart and we thank them. All festival events are now available on-demand. The 15 events presented lived up to this year’s theme of ‘Life, Changing’ with thought-provoking, deep and often confronting discussions. Explore the program as you usually would, purchase a ticket ($10) and view from that same account. www.wordforwordfestival.com.au/program/
