The annual NAWE Conference brings together NAWE members and others from across the UK and further afield to explore creative writing and how it is taught and facilitated in all kinds of education, community and health care settings and at every level. It’s an opportunity to share learning, information and ideas; hear about new research and projects; be inspired and energized; and make new connections.
The 2024 conference programme featured 60+ talks, presentations, panels and workshops covering a rich diversity of topics ranging from new ways to workshop to positivity in practice; from using fiction to explore environmental issues to connecting in the classroom through ekphrasis; from digital storytelling to the teacher as writer; from giving a voice to mental health to building creative communities.
There were sessions around approaches to teaching, working with different communities, teaching and learning within HE, the Creative Writing PhD, writing for well-being and in health and social care, the craft of writing, reading for pleasure and digital tools and resources; ‘how to’ sessions around public funding for writers, making YouTube channels work for authors, and teaching yourself to publish your work across different modes; and interactive workshops ranging from psychology and character development and digital storytelling as a tool for building connection to the use of AI tools to support radical creative practice and more.
Whether you teach, facilitate, support or study creative writing, and work in an education, community or health care setting, we're sure you'll find plenty to interest and inspire you.
