About the workshop:
TELL: A story-making and creative writing workshop for youth.
AGE: 11-16
Sept 18, 2022: 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM
This two-hour workshop, requiring only a favourite writing pen/pencil, notebook, and imagination, provides young people with a fun and engaging way to create their own 'telling' through the use of prompts, props, and playfulness. The focus will not be on spelling or grammar but on how easy language can be used to entertain, educate and engage, and the simple joy of accessing words to Tell a Tale.
