Join us at the National Arts Centre for readings by our young authors and the launch of their chapbooks!
This Fall, public school students from across the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) participated in writing workshops with local, published writers. They will be showcasing their work on the anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Workshops took place at Connaught Public School, York Street Public School, Fisher Park/Summit Alternative School and the Sunnyside Branch of the Ottawa Public Library. The participating mentors are Kagiso Lesego Molope, Apollo the Child, Deborah Kigjugalik Webster, Just Jamaal The Poet, Jo Rioux, and Laurie Koensgen.
The Republic of Childhood is an initiative launched in 2017 by the Ottawa International Writers Festival in partnership with the OCDSB, RBC Wealth Management and the Ottawa Public Library.
