This year's NAWE Conference will take place at the Cheltenham Park Hotel, 12-14 November. Proposals are now invited from writers, teachers and any other partners in the field of writing in education.
The NAWE Conference enables writers to share their various approaches to
teaching writing at all levels and to address current issues. We are
open to any suggestions in terms of presentation format but we are
likely to give preference to workshop sessions or discussions where
delegates can be most actively involved.
The Conference will run
from Friday lunchtime through to Sunday midday. There will be special
events on both evenings.
Proposals should consist of a brief (100
word) outline, exactly as you would wish the session to be described in
the conference programme, together with any further detail (250 words
max) and biographical information on all presenters (50 words each). The
suggested length of a session is 75-90 minutes (though sessions may be
shared). Please also specify exactly what technical equipment you
require. All presenters need to register as delegates but will have a
proportion (20%) of the conference fee waived.
