This session will take place on Saturday 15 June, 2024 at the Irish Writers Centre (one session in total).

Please note you must be 18 years of age or older to attend. 

Join an experienced New Irish Communities facilitator for two hours of creative writing exercises in a supportive workshop environment. Share your thoughts and life experiences through new pieces of poetry or prose in a variety of genres.

New Irish Communities was established in 2015 by the Irish Writers Centre and is funded by Dublin City Council. The mission of the group is to create access for non-native English speakers to write creatively in English.


What do we do in these workshop sessions?

Each stand alone session lasts two hours and will consist of the following:

• Creative writing exercises

• Close readings

• Group discussion

• Critique and feedback of work

• Recommended reading

We hope that New Irish Communities will be a valuable space where writers can make connections, learn to write creatively, and perhaps, to work together over time. However, each session functions as a stand-alone workshop, so it is not necessary to have attended any previous New Irish Communities sessions to drop in at any point.

Please note, it is not necessary to have attended any previous New Irish Communities sessions to join in, but it is necessary to sign up.
