Community & Resources

We love to create and share stories in all different ways - writing, drawing, telling, performing, games - and we love to help children and young people discover and develop their own ways of creating and sharing stories. Our range of workshops and programs support young writers to develop their own creative process and have fun storytelling.

Community Bookings

Curate the perfect program for your community with workshops from 100 Story Building, Victoria’s home of creative storytelling and discovery! We regularly partner with councils, libraries and other community organisations to inspire and engage young people. Workshops can be delivered online or in-person.

Our expert imaginauts (“facilitator” is way too boring for what they do!) bring the fun, collaborating with your local kids to create outrageous characters, reach for the stars, or embark on perilous quests… Participants leave with new friends, great memories, and exciting stories they’ve made themselves.

Making space for creativity helps all of us build confidence, be leaders in our own learning and take safe risks in our education. Our facilitators have shared some favourite storytelling activities to help young writers while remote learning, to help build critical and creative thinking skills. And have some fun at the same time!

What parents & students say

Testimonials

“I got to meet others who loved to write, and I got to think deeply about my writing on the pandemic/lockdown...when writing, you can really express what you feel in your writing, especially during these difficult times.”

Loyola, student participant in A User’s Guide to a Pandemic

‘The term after the project finished my child was more focussed when it came to homework and school projects. I used to chase her to complete homework but not now. I’d ask her how a certain project was going and she’d show me how she had already finished her planning, then how it was all complete.’

Parent, Early Harvest

‘I felt powerful giving feedback to an author, like my opinion and feedback matters. If your audience is kids, you should be asking children to read your book first! We can give great feedback and make it better!’

Oscar, Grade 6

‘It was a new experience editing a well-known writer's work.It was a little bit scary! But also exciting, to read the pre-published story.’

Wei, Year 5
