Writing To Make Change Happen
Mon 30 Jan 2017 to Sat 4 Feb 2017
Writing is often sought as an escape and an entertainment: so how do we forge a narrative that is not afraid to communicate hard truths and helps people thrive in difficult times?
This residential course examines the role of the writer in working collaboratively within a context of ecological and social crises. The planetary challenges we currently face demand that we question many of the individualist myths of our culture and start imagining a future that honours the perspectives of everyone.
We will explore how to listen to different voices (human and non-human), how to inspire and catalyse new stories, how to sustain a writing practice in times of urgency, how to bear witness and write on behalf of others and reclaim a traditional role for writers within the community as truth-tellers, record keepers and agents of change.
