Learning festival returns

The Wyndham Learning Festival is back and a big name will kick start the show this year.

In its 10th year, the festival will be opened by entertainer Christine Anu and the theme will be ‘A Decade of Discovery.’

Mayor Mia Shaw said it was wonderful to have Christine Anu launch the festival, sharing stories spanning her 30+ years as a performer.

“Christine Anu is one of Australia’s most popular recording artists and performers,” Cr Shaw said.

“She will talk about her acclaimed 30 plus year career that spans music, theatre, dance, film, television, radio, children’s entertainment and advocacy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.”

Celebrations on the day will also include a mini expo and First Nations Expo and Craft Market to showcase Wyndham’s Indigenous legacy and future.

The launch event will take place on August 24 and the Wyndham Learning Festival will run from September 1-7.

The festival will feature more than 100 free events, workshops and activities– from food and cooking to history, culture and diversity workshops to wellbeing and self care classes.

There will also be sessions that explore the world of business and tech – there will be something for all ages, interests and abilities at venues located across the city.
