Introductory Creative Writing Workshop
Workshop | 6 Feb - 12 Mar | Every Tuesday | 6pm-8pm | Greek Centre
The Greek Community of Melbourne is teaming up with poet and writer, Dr. Tina Giannoukou, to host an exciting creative writing workshop at the Greek Centre from February 6 to March 12.
This six-session workshop is designed to take participants on a unique writing journey. Attendees will explore their writing styles, discover different voices, and learn how to overcome any obstacles in expressing themselves. The focus is on helping participants tell their own personal stories.
The workshop will feature creative writing exercises and examples from literature to help participants find their style, address topics that matter to them, and build confidence and skills to write their own literary stories.
Dr. Tina Giannoukou, with her extensive experience in teaching creative writing and her success as a poet, writer, editor, and presenter, will guide participants in experimenting with narrative and poetic forms based on their own experiences.
Expressing her excitement for the upcoming workshop, Dr. Giannoukou said: “In a diverse literary culture where dominant narratives still predominate, this workshop will guide participants to tell their own distinct stories. It will explore the art of transforming the personal into the imaginative. It’s not exclusively for writers but welcomes individuals from all walks of life. Whether you are an aspiring writer or simply curious about storytelling or poetry, this workshop will provide a welcoming space for creative discovery and expression.”
- Participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
- Workshop will be conducted in English.
