Literacy is more than reading a book

Australia has some of the world’s most popular children’s authors and book illustrators who have inspired and led children into a lifetime’s love of books and reading. A special literary luncheon will feature a leading Australian contributor to children’s literature. Attendance is limited, so book early and include this cost with your registration fee.

Home Hosting Dinner
Saturday 24 July 2004

The OMEP Australia Committee would like to invite international delegates to share in a home meal with some Victorians on the evening of Saturday, July 24, 2004

We hope that in this way our overseas visitors will have the opportunity to talk with and share experiences with a range of people involved in children’s services. Places are limited so please book early.

Home Stay Program
There may be opportunities for some delegates to stay in a private home in one of the States or Territories, to have an Australian life-style experience for a few days either pre or post the World Congress. If this option was available, please indicate on the registration form if you would be interested in participating.
