centrED Form

centrED is pleased to invite schools to join us for online workshops as part of the 2025 OzAsia Festival schools program.

Award nominated Chinese-Australian author and illustrator, Freda Chiu will take students “behind the scenes” of illustrating her own books and before demonstrating the techniques she uses when she feels stuck!

Each session can accomodate 1-2 classes (30 to 50 students) from one school.

All South Australian schools are welcome to apply - preference will be given to Department for Education schools in regional and remote areas.

To register your interest complete the form below. Please note that capacity is limited. This is an application – schools will be informed whether they have been selected by the end of Week 9 (T3).

Important information:
If selected, centrED will host your session via the Microsoft Teams app. Schools will need to project the video so that the students can see Freda and her illustrations and also have a video feed of students for Freda to see and communicate with students audibly.
