Inspiring ideas, developing writers, creating connections

Our Education Policy

We aim to:

  • Inspire and develop new writing talent within the wider community by reaching out to school children, socially excluded groups and those for whom creative writing is potentially empowering.

  • Engage in innovative projects in partnership with educational and community establishments and arts practitioners

  • Facilitate the development of skills and opportunities for existing creative writers.

  • Advocate for new writing in the region and seek to identify new, cross media integration between drama, novels, e-literature and literature performance.

  • Bring teachers and writers together to explore new approaches to creative writing in the classroom.

  • Facilitate an information and advice resource.
