Course for children and youth
Writing courses for children and youths. The course is specially designed for children and young people from 9 to 15 years old. It supports and develops their writing skills through a playful approach to stories and narratives.
The most important rule in this course is not to be afraid of making mistakes. Write as you wish and in a way that sounds best to you. When you write stories as an author, you are in control.
The writing course for children and youths consists of lessons with tasks where we practice using some of the tools found in the writer’s toolbox. Each lesson includes a task on which the course leader provides feedback, and an optional thought-sharing task that participants can share with others in the course.
In the course, you will get to know poetic freedom, among other things. You will learn to use various narrative perspectives, and you will learn how to make what you write come alive for your reader, just as you will learn how to let your fictional characters speak in various ways.
