Are you a poet or a writer who is eager to develop your skills in delivering creative writing and health and well-being projects in your local community? Literature Wales is delighted to launch this year's Sgwennu’n Well | Writing Well, our development opportunity for literary facilitators.
Sgwennu’n Well | Writing Well is a 15-month programme in two parts;
Part one offers intense training aiming to enhance the skills needed to facilitate literary activities in the community.
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 four online training sessions,
• a residential course at Ty Newydd Writing Centre, and more.
The first three months will offer opportunities to hone skills in areas such as;
• project development and management,
• running budgets,
• capturing and communicating impact,
• safeguarding their groups,
• fundraising and more.
The group will also explore the theory and practice of running literature for health and well-being projects. Following the initial three-month training programme, and three months planning, the intention is to offer facilitators a pot of funding to deliver projects they have designed during the initial stages of the programme.
