Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said council was offering an extensive program of free events and activities over the Christmas break which were designed to engage and inspire young people.
“Redland Libraries, Redland Art Gallery and IndigiScapes have plenty of activities on offer for bookworms, tech buffs, aspiring artists, environmental enthusiasts and more,” Cr Williams said.
“At the libraries, kids can create their own Christmas decorations, code Ozobots to outrun villains and team up to race and battle Sphero robots.
“There are also plenty of shows and workshops designed to educate and entertain kids of all ages.
“Redland Libraries also runs a summer reading club which offers incentives through competitions, prizes and fun activities to encourage reading over the extended summer school holiday period so kids don’t fall behind.”
Cr Williams said the Redland Art Gallery and IndigiScapes would also host a range of activities in January.
“In the New Year at the Redland Art Gallery you can attend Me, Myselfie and I, an interactive workshop that invites children to consider different ways of creating their own portraits,” Cr Williams said
“At IndigiScapes kids can go wild with a range of nature-inspired activities from nature treasure hunts to worm farming and weaving workshops. There is something for everyone,” she said.
Council school holiday program activities are free.
