What Do YOU Think?
FULLY BOOKED
A seminar for people and organisations working alongside regeneration/urban renewal
A community/ an organisation/ a place can be seen as a tapestry of stories, each thread essential and compelling. The space to write down, savour and enjoy these words enables communication and sparks passion.
We all know the pen is mightier than the sword, but can creative writing ensure successful consultation? Can writers provide a vital role aiding regeneration?
Join us for a stimulating workshop on using literature and creative writing as part of the consultation process for change and urban renewal.
Join UrbanWords director, Sarah Butler, and poet, Aoife Mannix to:
• Explore what successful consultation is, and how creative writing and creative writers can facilitate successful consultation
• Discuss how writers can:
o Enable people to explore and articulate their relationship to and aspirations for a place
o Pull out nuances and complexities that traditional consultation perhaps can’t
o Find ways and forms of articulating complex ideas and conflicting opinions
o Deliver work that is accessible for those intimidated/excluded from traditional consultation
• Discuss how you can use these ideas/possibilities in your own work.
