Writers in Education

With Jacob Sam-La Rose

Saturday 15 & Sunday 16 August | 11am – 5pm | £70

This workshop is now full. To keep up-to-date with future workshops, please sign-up on the right-hand side of the page.

If you would like to expand your range and work in education then this weekend is a great opportunity to equip you with the skills you’ll need to do so. Experienced poet and workshop leader Jacob Sam-La Rose will lead a two day Masterclass looking at the planning and delivery of workshops from a one hour session to a whole programme.

The weekend will be practical and hands on. Along the way you’ll explore how to engage students of ranging abilities in writing, analysing and performing poetry, and how to do it all in a fun and informative way. You’ll also discuss the practicalities of working in education, including maintaining communications with teachers and managing expectations.

There are only ten places available for this workshop – please apply to luke.wright@writerscentrenorwich.org.uk with a relevant CV.
