New Irish Communities 2024 Session 6 Facilitated by Cauvery Madhavan

Join writer and facilitator Cauvery Madhavan 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. These sessions are ideal for beginner and emerging writers.

How does New Irish Communities work?

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

New Irish Communities is a space for writers to make connections and learn to write creatively with an experienced facilitator.

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.
