The following provides a criteria for selecting which activities we do and don’t run at the event. As such this select provides us with a transparent process to account for the resources invested in the event and ensure that the program is in line with State Library Strategic Plan. In addition to the Strategic Plan, there is a further series of criteria that are informed by past fun palace events and The Edge programming practice.
