Water in Literature & 
The Maps of our Minds

Water is the theme of this year’s national writing competition for sixth-formers, run by Queen Mary University in London. Year 12 students are invited to participate in 3 days of workshops that will explore diverse literary texts where water shapes the narrative and provides writers with metaphors that express the human condition, navigating ithe submerged shores of the soul. 

*Students, please note that my application for my DBS certificate is in progress. I'll need to show it to the school to be able to work with you as under-18s. It should arrive in time! If you're reading this notice, please register your interest with Shara Davies / David Moffat (don't use the registration form here).

Programme

Mésententes Cordiales

 

An 8-week reading-discussion group for bilingual English and French speakers, focussing on the Eighteenth Century. 

 

18.45-21.15

Tuesdays, Nov 12th - Dec 17th 2024

 

Improve your English alongside other French speakers. Maybe you're a group of friends at university or in your town. If you come to London or I come to France, we can meet! 

 

Migrant leaders in the UK & political organisers working on a transnational level face barriers and miss opportunities when they struggle to follow discussions and to express themselves fully in English. This weekly online political education class will draw upon the interests and expertise of the participants - and keep your English moving.

 

A space to explore the issues you're facing through intelligent conversation, with themes sparked by the tarot. It's not fortune telling and your open creative engagement in the discussion is what makes it work.

Need an external facilitator to help plan and deliver a participatory event with activities that will help your group explore an issue and make decisions creatively?

Participating in any of the fee-paying activities will, aside from paying Robin a salary, help towards funding a workshop and library.
