An important event is occurring later this month at The University of Queensland to celebrate and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Writers and Storytellers, and the important resource that supports the teaching and sharing of information about this dynamic and exciting aspect of Australian literary culture, BlackWords (part of the AustLit resource).

This symposium will be a great professional development opportunity, especially in the light of the national curriculum. Some of Australia's best known Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers and storytellers will be speaking, reading and participating in this event.
