Writing for Change
About the Event
This studio focuses on using various forms of writing to advocate for an issue (of each participant’s choice). Within three studio sessions, participants will have chosen a problem that speaks to them (whether it is in their community, on the global scale, etc.) and research how other individuals have used their voice to advocate for change within their topic. Participants will have the freedom to explore how they would like to present this problem to their fellow peers and teaching artists, whether this is through creative writing, journalism, mixed media, or more.
In this lesson, participants will explore the different “types” of writing with change and how they can optimize their chosen mode of writing.
