There are lots of strange and difficult things happening in the world at the moment. Daisy Henwood is going to show you how writing can help you navigate your feelings and create something positive and active. We’ll look at the different ways you might use writing to generate feelings of hope and to imagine a better future.
Discover how writing can be more than self-expression — it can be a form of activism. In this dynamic course for 13–17 year olds, you’ll transform personal feelings into creative works that speak to the world. Through blackout poetry, turning crisis into art, and writing bold to-do lists for the future, you’ll use words as powerful tools for change, imagining and inspiring a brighter, fairer future for everyone.
