Wakakirri is a national story sharing arts festival that challenges schools to ‘make a positive impact on the world around you’.

Participating schools create stories with a community message, make their work sustainable, and share their story with as many people as possible.

Schools create stories using dance, song, telling, film, arts and writing and share them at live shows and online with other schools and the general public around Australia.

Established in 1992, Wakakirri is Australia’s largest arts festival for schools involving over 30,000 students in every State and Territory. Wakakirri has live events in 28 locations, a live audience of 60,000 and online events involving 20,000. Wakakirri stories reach over 1 million people each year.
