Inclusivity, diversity, and safety are key to community engagement and the Wyndham Learning Festival’s objective. The Learning Festival aims to have a collection of activities that attract audiences from all life stages from early years to seniors. Some events may focus on one target group while others may cross age groups or be open to everyone.  You will be asked to select your target audience on the registration form.  

Life stages have been grouped in the following categories: early years, school years, young adults, adults & seniors, and learning for all ages.

As an event holder, finding your audience is primarily your responsibility. Wyndham Learning Festival organisers will provide support by promoting events on our website and social media, however, attracting participants ultimately falls on the event holder. Successful applicants will receive an invitation to an information session helping with ideas for marketing and planning strategies.

Please consider accessibility for all participants including people with disability or additional needs. For wheelchair access, the entry should be 1.2m wide or more, and steps should be avoided to allow for easy access.
