A teacher professional development workshop
Join us for an exciting workshop with poet and former University of Manchester Chancellor, Lemn Sissay OBE. The workshop will focus on the impact of Creative Writing and Creative Engagement on young people’s mental health and wellbeing. Recent studies suggest that creative activities, including?creative writing, help children develop self-esteem, mindfulness, feelings of achievement, empowerment, and empathy. Creative writing is a fantastic way for children to explore their imaginations and process their feelings.
