National Carers Week takes place across the country from 13th – 19th June.
Ardkeen Library is delighted to host a Creative Writing Workshop for Family Carers with Derbhile Graham on Tuesday 14th June 2022 from 11:00am – 12:30pm as part of National Carers Week.
In this creative writing workshop, you will do gentle writing activities based on storytelling techniques that will help you give shape to your life experience as a family caring. You will learn to tell the stories of the people and places that are important to you and to structure the story of a typical day in your life. You will also learn how to tap into the senses to unlock your memories. This will be a relaxing and fun workshop.
