About the Festival Series

EduLinked's Queensland Festival Series brings together free, community-facing events that promote digital inclusion and accessible communication. The festival series is intentionally practical — sessions prioritise hands-on learning, low-barrier participation and dignity-centred practice so people walk away with confidence and usable skills.

We partner with local libraries, community organisations and councils to design events that respond to real community needs. If you're interested in hosting, partnering or presenting, see the section below on hosting and partnerships.
