This EACWP European Conference about Creative Writing Pedagogy is devoted to the sharing of teaching practices, approaches and points of view about our various ways to teach writing.
The aims of the conference are:
- to join European universities, schools, teachers and institutions that work teaching Creative writing and discuss about it from a pedagogical point of view
- to deepen and refine the map of our different ways of teaching writing
- to share methodologies and pedagogical approaches
- the individual and social impacts of teaching creative writing
- the multilingual and intercultural aspects in pedagogy of creative writing
In Jyväskylä, the conference will provide a forum for sessions with speeches (lectures and short presentations) and round-table discussions about the possibilities and approaches related to the pedagogy and the spreading of creative writing. The conference also features international experts as keynote speakers. After days in Jyväskylä, the conference moves to the countryside, to the town of Orivesi, providing workshops for teachers of creative writing.
The conference is intended for teachers, experts, researchers, and students in the fields of writing and pedagogy. The interdisciplinary approaches are especially welcome. The hosts welcome both scientific and popular papers. The presence of professionals from outside of Europe will be welcome, too.
The events during the conference will create important opportunities of networking for all those interested in conceptual and methodological approaches in the pedagogy of writing.
