Paper Nations is completing an audit of creative writing support across the UK in an effort to make the support available more visible.

Announcing the appeal, Bambo Soyinka, Director of Paper Nations said, “This is an invitation to arts, education, and creative industry organisations across the UK to tell us about upcoming creative writing support for children in their area. We want you to become partners in the Paper Nation cause and help us increase regular access to creative writing opportunities for young people.”

Where possible, Paper Nations will share relevant opportunities via an interactive website so that children, regardless of where they live or what socioeconomic barriers they face, can nurture their interest in creative writing.

To become involved, go to the Paper Nations website and fill out their survey. It takes just five minutes to complete.

Deadline: 28 February 2018

Paper Nations aims to give all children across England access to regular, high quality creative writing support, regardless of where they live or the socioeconomic barriers they may face. This work is made possible through Arts Council England’s Creative Writing in Schools Fund. Paper Nations is a partnership between Bath Spa University, Bath Festivals and NAWE.
