DESCRIPTION:Expressing yourself and crafting an object have long been stu
 died and considered a way to relieve stress and emotional turbulence. We
  are told that “talking helps” and that making “something out of nothing
 ” can make us feel better. Writing is a form of speech. And so\, as part
  of the Festival of Libraries\, we would like to invite you to take part
  in a Writing for Wellbeing Workshop\, which will be facilitated by prof
 essional writers from the Centre for New Writing at The University of Ma
 nchester. \n\nThe Centre for New Writing has been involved with projects
  working with readers and writers from all walks of life and backgrounds
 \, and have included poetry competition for Schools\, micropoetry built 
 for Twitter\, book clubs discussing classic and new poems\, moonbounce s
 essions at Jodrell Bank which saw new poems written and sent to the moon
  (and back)\, and wellbeing sessions at the city’s libraries\, museums a
 nd galleries. We know first-hand the effects that creative writing can h
 ave\, and we are delighted to offer these sessions for interested reader
 s and writers\, and those who are curious about creative writing as part
  of their own personal wellbeing. \n\nPresented in partnership with Crea
 tive Manchester as part of the Manchester City of Literature Festival of
  Libraries 2025. \n\nPlaces are very limited and booking is required. \n
 \nThis workshop includes lunch\, which will be served on arrival\, 12pm-
 12.30pm.\n\n\nBook here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-for-well
