Creative Writing for People with Disabilities presented by The Centre for Independent Living and Vibrant Community Health

May 27 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

This 5-week program will explore writing as a form of creative self-expression rooted  in
the ways that lived experience of Disability informs how we write and what we write about.
 Sessions will include:
-Writing with Prompts
-Reading and discussing work by Disabled Writers
-Sharing writing and giving/receiving feedback
-Facilitators with lived experience of disability
 This program is for beginner writers, and anyone interested in writing more, playing with words and sharing their work with others.   Whether you use voice to text, a pen and paper, a brailler, typing or bringing someone with you to transcribe when writing, all methods of playing with words are welcome!
