Creative Writing Course is a new exploration of English we have created for young graduates and professionals. It is a series of ten progressive seminars for all those who wish to express themselves clearly in English and gain more confidence in sharing their writings with others. You can enjoy working with imaginative people and at the same time acquire the skills which will help you to set out on a career in the creative industries, media or teaching.
After attending at least five seminars of your choice, you will be awarded a certificate of attendance. Note that the number of hours of active participation in the course will appear in your certificate and will depend on how many seminars you attend. You will also be invited to have your work published on our website. That is not all – we have a special treat for the most persistent explorers who decide to make all ten voyages with us. Do not miss the chance to work under extremely friendly conditions!
Every two weeks we set sail for the mysterious world of imaginative writing in English. We approach poetry, prose and other written forms in new and original ways. The seminars are topical so that you can decide which one to attend depending on your preferences. Each activity is designed to refresh your appreciation of literature and encourage you to develop a personal style. We would like to know what your creative writing needs are so please fill in the questionnaire.
