What will I study?

This is a wellbeing course which will look at how writing can be a helpful way to relieve stress and manage our wellbeing. The focus will be on students building their confidence as they write and enjoy being able to relax and learn in a friendly supportive environment. We will look at different genres of writing - fiction, poetry, drama, memoir, and life writing. You will be encouraged to try writing in different styles, exploring what works best for you and developing your writing skills along the way. It is designed for anyone who has an interest in writing. It doesn't matter if you have never tried it before, or if you think you're not very good. This is about exploring different ways to write and express yourself within a supportive group.
