'Telling stories of a better world...
'The Greek krisis means ‘to decide, a point at which a change must come'. In Queensland, the COVID-19 crisis is altering life in ways that were unimaginable even a few weeks ago. While this is undeniably frightening, as writers we also see it as a moment of possibility.
'We want to inspire you to imagine this as a turning point on the way to a better future. Every two weeks, our UQ writers will reveal a new challenge to help you write a postcard from that future to the world. Then we’ll publish some of our favourites here!'

'University of Queensland writing experts, Associate Professor Kim Wilkins and Dr Helen Marshall, invited young Queenslanders to submit a postcard from the hopeful, post-COVID future as part of a new creativity project. Wish You Were Here! Postcards from Future Queensland has empowered our community to imagine a better future after the COVID-19 crisis through storytelling. The project consists of insightful, creative and courageous primary, secondary and tertiary student contributions that—when read together—take us on a wonderful narrative journey, leaving readers on a note of hope.'
