Delegates will be able to register for this workshop from the commencement of morning tea on Monday 7 September at the registration desk. However, delegates are advised to have several choices ready for each session time due to room capacity.

Delegates wishing to attend Digital Story Telling, Tuesday 11:30, with Peter Mitsis and Naomi Rush should note the following:
Participants must bring their own laptops with Microsoft Movie Maker installed. This is available for free download. As internet access will not be available, participants will need to bring a range of digital image files and MP3 music files (photographs and music that could be used to illustrate a persona story - e.g. images of self, country map, country flag, aeroplane, telephone, house, baby picture, etc).
