Folk Tale Adventures Creative Writing Workshop - The Choicebird

Listen to this story from Thailand, expertly told by Carmel and then join a discussion about how stories promote pride and resilience
About this Event

No experience needed to join this friendly group.

The Choicebird is a story from Thailand. Listen to Carmel's expert storytelling and then we will discuss how stories can be used to promote pride and resiliance. Can a story be as powerful as a weapon?

After we discuss these complex issues there will be time to write your own response, or your own story, and to share if you wish to. You will leave with ideas about how to use stories from other cultures and you will have been inspired to do some writing of your own.

This is part of a monthly series; you can join and leave at any point.

Online bookings only, no tickets on the door
