Join us for a brand new program which explores the essentials of political writing!
Each year, hundreds of laws are made and changed through parliament—it’s a big job to communicate the workings of parliament to the public!
Parliament Express will explore the essentials of writing in a political environment. As part of a twelve week program, participants (aged 18-30) will learn about the parliamentary process and its relationship to print and digital media, covering reportage and investigative journalism, as well as how to research, plan and conduct interviews with politicians and experts. Fortnightly workshops and guest speaker sessions will be combined with one-on-one mentoring for participants to build their skills in proofreading, editing and pitching work for publication, with opportunity for each participant to publish up to two pieces of writing on Parliament of Victoria’s blog at the program’s conclusion.
