Course description
Our Writing for Social Impact course is a two-day online workshop aimed at anyone who wants to learn strategic and creative ways of achieving real-world social impact through their writing.
This might include charity and third sector professionals, people working on the frontline of public services (youth workers, nurses, teachers), or those with lived experience of injustice.
The Writing for Social Impact course will be held over two mornings, via Zoom, and it will explore how to conduct interviews, execute ethical and impactful storytelling, and provide a call-to-action for readers.
The workshop will cover:
- How to conduct interviews
- How to execute ethical and impactful storytelling
- How to provide a call-to-action for your readers
- How to discover different types of social impact.
Students do not need to have any prior experience of writing. You only need a genuine passion to create progressive change with your pen.
A fully funded place is available on each course for a young adult (18-25) from an underrepresented background and/or facing financial difficulty. To apply for this, please contact Ciaran Thapar explaining why you'd like to attend.
This Writing for Social Impact course is open to anyone who wants to learn how to write impactfully, which might include charity and third sector professionals, people working on the frontline of public services (youth workers, nurses, teachers), or those with lived experience of injustice.
