Overview & Purpose

Creative writing is known as a method used to enhance your cognitive skills. As a writer, you are actively using your mind and memory to create texts which are going to enchant your reader. With the help of creative writing, you can easily get through writing tasks at your job or school. If you are a business owner, you can learn how to successfully promote your business online and on social media. Also, this workshop can benefit anyone who is working on writing projects.

The practices that we will show you coupled with respective short writing exercises focused on different topics, will help you sharpen your writing skills and help you write compelling texts.

This is why your final product will be a blog post on a subject chosen by the majority of participants and published on the Youth On Board website!

The objectives of this workshop are to:

Bring the subject of creative writing closer to participants
Offer practical advice when it comes to writing
Encourage participants to express themselves in a creative way
