Singapore Writers Festival (SWF), Singapore’s most anticipated literary event, has officially opened with an exciting line-up of authors and programmes centred around the theme ‘The Prospect of Beauty’, which celebrates beauty in writing, literature and the world around us. The Festival will continue till 9 November. This year’s Festival features:

  • Over 200 Singapore and international writers
  • More than 280 events that comprise panel discussions, lectures, poetry readings, literary meals, film screenings and more

The Opening Ceremony of the Festival was graced by Guest-of-honour Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for Communications and Information. Three-time US Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky gave an excerpt of his PoemJazz performance while Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon gave a reading of this year’s specially-commissioned SWF lyric.

SWF will be celebrating 10 days of thought-provoking discussions, inspirational lectures, poetry readings, music performances and more.

Our Parenting World team is invited to the opening ceremony of Singapore Writers Festival. As book authors, editors and writers, writing is already part of our lives. Gor Gor loves to write, he has contributed short stories and did his first public story telling at Library@Esplanade last year. It will be good to inspire and nurture the younger generation to develop an interest and passion in writing.

Bring your children down to various activities conducted by Singapore Writers Festival – Little Lit! – free children’s programmes. In addition, we are pleased to inform that two events are happening during this school holiday as part of the National Arts Council (NAC) ‘Arts for All’ initiative. 

Arts In Your Neighbourhood. The ‘Arts for All’ initiative aims to promote creative self-expression and bonding through the arts by bringing it to where people live, work and play. It creates an accessible avenue for everyone to enjoy an interactive art experience by established artists and art groups right at their very doorstep!

Past editions of Arts In Your Neighbourhood have received great interest and positive feedback, and this edition promises to be just as engaging.

The details of both events are as follows:

1. 9 & 23 November 2014, 2pm – 3pm
The Admiral’s Fantastic Journey by Cake Theatrical Productions: Join a little boy in his wild adventure of the imagination as he gets captivated by a book entitled The Admiral’s Fantastic Journey. A complementary craft workshop accompanying the programme will be available!

2. 16 November 2014, 2pm – 3pm

Our Parenting World is pleased to announce that a special part of this year’s Singapore Writers Festival (SWF) is ​dedicated and curated just for kids. The festival will occur from 31 October – 9 November 201​4, with most of the Little Lit! programmes happening on the two weekends, 1 – 2 November & 8 – 9 November 2014.

Little Lit! is the Festival’s free children’s programme that features a wide variety of interactive activities, from writing and craft workshops to storytelling and drama sessions. ​​​All activities will ​take place at a dedicated children’s space spread over two floors at the National Museum of Singapore. ​

This year’s edition also features more international best-selling children’s authors like Jacqueline Harvey, Sally Rippin, and Tone Almhjell together with Singaporean talents such as Adeline Foo, Stephanie Wong and our youngest featured author this year, twelve-year-old Amon Chua. Through a stronger Little Lit! offering this year​ (3 times bigger than 2013)​, ​SWF hopes to encourage a love for reading and writing in more children, while simultaneously developing their sense of imagination and creativity.

Our Parenting World would like to highlight some of the fun and exciting Little Lit! programmes that are interesting and suitable for children and families. School holidays will be coming soon and it will be a meaningful and enjoyable way to spend the school holidays for your children.

Kindly take note that most registrations for the Little Lit! programmes (e.g. Fire up the Imagination Workshop and Introduction to Pop-up Books Workshop) will start 1 hour before each session at the respective venues.
