SAME/Difference - The Hearth
ONLINE CREATIVE WRITING & PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS
Have you wanted to tell your story, but aren't sure how to?
Hope survives best at the hearth (Rick Riordan)
SAME/Difference -The Hearth is a series of creative writing and photography workshops for individuals resident in Northern Ireland.
This course is intended to promote gender equality, anti-racism and a peaceful and shared society based on reconciliation in Northern Ireland by offereing participants the opportunity to explore their own and others cultural expression in a friendly and supportive environment.
We are particularly keen to welcome participants from the new communities; those whose countries of origin are other than Northern Ireland , but who now call it ‘home’.
Our Workshops are open to all participants and no previous experience is necessary. Fluency in written English is not essential; to foster creative expression participants are encouraged to write in their preferred language of fluency and we will help to share some of their work in English. All workshops will be delivered online via Zoom. Workshops are FREE, but places are limited, so early booking is advised! Join us to tell your story with words and images, in our series of themed workshops!
This series of workshops will be facilitated by artists Viviana Florentino, Nandi Jola and Bernarde Lynn. Further information on the artists and the SAME /Difference Project:
