BASA - A Celebration of Filipino Children's Stories


Anna Manuel is a volunteer on the Storytelling Australia Victoria committee, a bilingual storyteller and passionate advocate of Kamishibai storytelling.

 Know more about the Philippines! Share with your children the beauty and creativity of things Filipino.

"BASA" means "to read." Stories connect human beings and cultures.

This FIRST in a series of storytelling events catered to children of Filipino parents and the diverse communities in Melbourne, aims to BRING STORIES from the Philippines, ENGAGE FAMILIES in a culture of reading bilingual stories, and INVITE PEOPLE from different cultural backgrounds to host a similar event in the future.

Hosted by international children's storyteller, writer, and reading advocate Anna Manuel, get ready to engage in stories, games, and arts from the Philippines!

Gold coin donations accepted.
