It was great catching up with the Story Factory team in Parramatta last week. Since opening in October 2018, Story Factory Parramatta now runs up to 15 creative writing programs a week, for up to 300 students across Western Sydney. Over its first full year of operations 2,756 young people participated in their life-changing programs. 60% of participating young people are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, predominantly from lower socioeconomic communities.
