"When I walked into the Fighting Words workshop I knew I couldn't write a story and when I walked out I knew I could" - Participant
We run free creative writing workshops for children and young people across Northern Ireland. Our activities are joyful experiences that ignite imaginations, boost innovative thinking and confidence, and help children advocate for themselves.
Writing skills are essential for success in life. Our workshops overcome the fears of a child with low literacy skills and writing suddenly becomes a surprising, fun experience they can succeed at, creating a ripple effect across their education.
"If pupils feel success because of a creative process, then they approach every aspect of the curriculum differently" - Teacher after one of our workshops
Your donation will help us continue to support thousands of young people this year, ensuring every child has the opportunity to tell their story.
“It’s a big thing to see your own writing in print. You begin to see that your contribution matters and you can speak out and write your way into change” - Participant
