SUMMARY:Writing for Wellbeing (Festival of Libraries 2024)

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\n\nThe Centre for New Writing has been involved with project
 s working with readers and writers from all walks of life and background
 s\, and have included poetry competition for Schools\, micropoetry built
  for Twitter\, book clubs discussing classic and new poems\, moonbounce 
 sessions at Jodrell Bank which saw new poems written and sent to the moo
 n (and back)\, and wellbeing sessions at the city’s libraries\, museums 
 and galleries. We know first-hand the effects that creative writing can 
 have\, and we are delighted to offer these sessions for interested reade
 rs and writers\, and those who are curious about creative writing as par
 t of their own personal wellbeing.\n\n\nPresented in partnership with Cr
 eative Manchester as part of the Manchester City of Literature Festival 
 of Libraries 2024.\n\n\nThis event is part of The University of Manchest
 er's Bicentenary celebrations.
