Creative Writing Hub

Description

Do you love creative writing but can't seem to find enough time or inspiration?

Students of all levels are invited to drop in for a writing session in a welcoming and casual environment.

At the Creative Writing Hub, participants will be offered a prompt and around 30 minutes to build on their ideas. Participants will have the option to share an excerpt from their work-in-progress with the group.

This activity aims to help students generate ideas and engage with creative writing in an informal group setting. The writing from this workshop can serve as the start point of a larger project, or simply a way to refresh the mind.

~Juice and cookies will be provided~
