Event Description
“Look at passionate young people from any era and you’ll find impressive catalysts for change.”
 
Have you ever felt like your story was written for you before you could write it yourself? In this course, you will explore your own truths through creative writing and topics and issues that matter to you. You will be exposed to many ideas through contemporary forms of art, (flash fiction, photos, music, etc) and have the opportunity to reflect on them using the creative writing genre of your choice. During this 3-week course you will also be exposed to Critical Lens theory in order to deepen your own stories so that they speak truth to and help dismantle systems that uphold inequity. Now it’s your turn to write the story.
