Who doesn't love a bedtime story?
Join us to follow the sun across four UNESCO Cities of Literature for a unique global storytelling event.
Beginning in Ōtepoti (Dunedin), travelling to Nipaluna (Hobart), then on to Wonju, South Korea, and finishing in Jakarta, Indonesia, you'll experience stories, conversation and creativity as evening falls across the region.
Follow the Southern Sunset
Follow the Southern Sunset is a joint Nipaluna (Hobart) initiative between the City of Literature and the University of Tasmania, imagined by writer and UTAS lecturer Lucy Christopher.
- Listen to live story readings.
- Explore interactive activity boards.
- Tune into a panel discussion on literacy, literature and children.
Drop in for as little or as long as you like over this five-hour online journey.
Stories will remain available throughout September as part of World Literacy Month.
