Sgwennu’n Well | Writing Well is a brand-new development opportunity for literary facilitators. Literature Wales is looking for six facilitators to join this 12-month development programme. Open to those over the age of 18 and living in Wales at the time of application and throughout the programme.
Sgwennu’n Well | Writing Well is in two parts. Part one offers intense training aiming to enhance the skills needed to facilitate literary activities in the community, and part two will support the cohort of facilitators to create and deliver participatory projects which benefit the health and well-being of participants.
The programme includes;
• mentoring sessions,
• a bursary of £1,000,
• a series of five online training sessions,
• a residential course at Ty Newydd Writing Centre, and more.
Following the initial six-month training programme, the intention is to offer facilitators a pot of funding to deliver projects they have designed and planned during the initial stages of the programme.
We encourage applications from individuals from a range of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, especially under-represented facilitators including those working in the Welsh language, those from minority ethnic backgrounds, facilitators who identify as disabled and those from a low-income background.
