Our Voices Matter: Writing As Activism Workshop

With author, editor, and KFTC member Marianne Worthington. $40. Do you want to use your writing as a form of empowerment, social change, and community building? Writers who want to tell their own stories or the untold stories of others, develop personal responses to injustice, submit letters to the editor, or practice written expression on social issues are welcome. We will look at examples of activist writing that illustrate how experience and expression can be the first steps toward getting involved with issues and making changes in our lives and communities. We will experiment with several writing prompts in multiple genres and have group feedback sessions as well. We will take a short break for lunch; bring a brown bag if you’d like. Offered in partnership with The Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning. [ALL LEVELS]
