Fighting Words – Writing Mentor Training
Wed 19 Oct 2022, 1.30-3.00pm
The Graduate School at Queen's, TR5

FREE (for SHC students)

Fighting Words NI are looking for volunteer mentors and illustrators to help facilitate their programme of creative writing workshops for primary, post-primary, and community groups.

Their fun and imagination-focused workshops include collaborative and individual writing, and the writing mentors are passionate about helping young writers to explore their creative potential.

If you are a great listener who enjoys working in a creative environment, then this is for you. Our students can sign up to receive this free training to become a Fighting Words mentor. Whether you go on to join the mentorship programme or not, the training will be hugely valuable for any work with young audiences.
