This is a Creative Writing for Wellbeing course where you can get in touch with your creativity and express yourself in a friendly, safe and supportive environment. There will be one face-to-face meeting every month and three video-conference sessions on Zoom in between these. The WEA’s digital learning platform, Canvas, will also be used to support lessons and provide feedback. This is a chance to meet (online) with others and share ideas and experiences.
