Dear
Friends,
We are now only 2 days away from the official Ubud Writers & Readers
Festival opening! Excitement at the office has reached fever pitch
and we can't wait to share our programs and events with you.
Ubud is awash with our posters and banners, our orange UWRF flags are
waving outside all of our venues, the Box Office on Jl. Raya
Sanggingan is open and tickets are selling fast.
Over the next few days we will share some highlights and suggestions
for sessions to attend. Today, we take a look at some of the events
that are perfect for the younger members of the family, as well as
the grown-ups. Many of our Children & Youth Program sessions have already booked
out, so if you missed out on these events and are wondering what else
you can send the kids along to, have a look at the highlights below.
Also featured are some of our wonderful workshops.
For those who aren't able to make it to this year's Festival, we
encourage you to follow us on facebook and twitter #UWRF13. We'll be posting photos
from the sessions, video links and we will even have a Festival Blog
on our website.
We'll see you soon!
