Want to know all about voting before the upcoming federal election?
Participate in your own election role play with author and educator, Krys Saclier.
Krys’ books, Vote 4 Me and Camp Canberra, are illustrated by the brilliant political cartoonist, Cathy Wilcox, and published through Wild Dog Books. Both books explain government and voting through a fun kid-centred story.
Join a session to find out how the Australian preferential voting system works, take part in a role play, and get ready to be a future representative!
Krys Saclier believes children’s literature has the power to shape the future.
Krys is an electoral educator and has worked as a primary school teacher, television producer and freelance writer. She is the creator of the Kids Only podcast, which features original short audio stories for children. Krys is also an Australian Capital Territory committee member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and a founding member of the Canberra Children’s Writers’ Group.
