EVENT DESCRIPTION


Create, connect with others, and learn new skills through Collaborative Storytelling.

In this peer-guided creative process, we will write an original story together. We'll be embracing a process that is quirky, illuminating, and respectful - one in which there are many voices that shape the story. By combining our ideas, we hope to find a broader, more inclusive perspective on creative writing.

All it takes is contribution, connection, and a little creativity. Everyone's input matters! So whether you are new to creative writing or have experience, this event is for you. Remi and Li, our two peer facilitators will be there throughout the afternoon, to guide the activity, offer encouragement and support the creative process.

Remi and Li will prepare a relaxed and collaborative environment, with time for discussion, brainstorming, and writing together. Your storytelling session will focus on the collective voice — where the subject of the story takes centre stage, rather than any one storyteller.

Come share ideas, innovate, and make an impact. Everything you'll need to write will be available, plus tasty snacks to keep the creative juices flowing. The story

We can’t wait to create with you.
