Creative Writing 101 — an online writing workshop for teenagers
Transform teenage experiences into compelling writing
Writing is not just for those with perfect grammar and great spelling. Writing belongs to all of us. Teenagers who dislike rules, love learning, and dream of better worlds will gather in a cozy online space to activate their inner writer.
Develop confidence, calm and clarity through creative writing. In this workshop, we will learn to draft, edit, and experience writing as a thrilling process that challenges and empowers us.
Adolescence is a tumultuous time for children. Teenagers have to discover who they are while undergoing massive change. They have to make sense of a changing body, reckon with their emotions, and find belonging in friendship and family.
Wouldn’t it help to equip them with a lifelong skill that provides calm and encourages creativity? A skill that helps them play with language and share their story?
Writing is such a skill.
Unfortunately, our schools don’t always have the space to nurture honest writing with affection and attention. Writing is seen as a perfect product, not a tender, difficult, yet rewarding process.
