Trip to Writers' Week Seminar

The Extension Writing students went to a seminar for Writers' Week which was part of Wellington's International Festival of the Arts.  The seminar was led by writer and lecturer, James Brown with contributions from some students from the International Institute of Modern Letters at Victoria University.  

James and the University students shared their writing and demonstrated how a collaborative editing session works.

There was a lot of new learning for us including how effective feedback from others can give us different perspectives on our own work and how we should always encourage and value imagination.  It can be challenging but fun to force your imagination to work hard!

Thanks to our parent helpers who made this visit possible!
