ESF CULTIVATE PROGRAMME: SHORT STORIES

Explore what it takes to write a great short story.

WRITING SHORT STORIES

Have you got a story to tell? Have you always wanted to have a go at writing but just didn’t know how or where to start? This bite-sized introductory workshop will get you started! An introductory workshop touching on structure, plot, character and point of view to get you started.

After completing this workshop you should be able to:

Understand how to structure a story
Know how to use point of view
Understand how to develop characters
Feel more confident when starting to write
Use your writing to distil your thoughts and express your creativity

About the workshop series

Our ESF Get Creative! Cultivate Programme workshops are open to everybody – no dress code, no qualifications. We strongly believe everybody is creative, everybody ‘writes’. Writing is what you think, say, see, touch, feel and do – you just need to choose how to express it. These workshops will be fun, engaging and accessible – valuing everyday creativity.

The focus will be on exploring ways to express yourself and find your voice, where your creativity is also part of your wellbeing.
