A free creative writing workshop in two parts, with the first taking place on Global Degrowth Day, coinciding with a number of other events that share alternatives to growth based societies.
Saturday 6th June & Sunday 14th June, 8pm – 9:30pm
Spaces are limited – you can book yours here. We’d like to encourage you to take part in both days. If that’s not possible, please let us know at [email protected].
Workshop Info: A range of challenges designed to stimulate the imagination will allow participants to find fun and unexpected ways to tell stories and express ideas around degrowth in our troubled times. We use words as a tool for inspiration, delight and hope to reflect on some of our ways of being together in the world, and share our findings. The inspiration behind the workshop comes from a broad theoretical background, from Donna Haraway to Doughnut Economics and the Work that Reconnects. Participants have the option to have their stories and poems published on the Enough! blog or in the form of a zine.
Juana Adcock is a poet, translator and performer.
