SHC X Fighting Words
Fighting Words NI provides creative writing opportunities for children and young people in Belfast and beyond. They run storymaking workshops, write clubs, and special publishing projects with the support of a team of volunteer writing mentors.
Each year, our students are offered training and support to become a volunteer mentor with Fighting Words, to help the next generation of writers tell their stories.
Fighting Words NI is a force for creativity in Belfast and beyond, providing thousands of creative writing opportunities for schools and young writers ages 6-18. Their patrons are the acclaimed writers Glenn Patterson, Roddy Doyle, Nick Hornby, Lucy Caldwell, Paul Muldoon and Dave Eggers.
They are now delivering online workshops and digital projects for writers of all ages, in collaboration with Fighting Words centres across Ireland, and colleagues from the International Alliance of Youth Writing Centres.
