Student Showcases and Opportunities

Our graduates go on to do wonderful things and we’re proud to be able to give them a platform in the early days of their careers. Each year we produce a series of Student Showcases of poetry, prose and script, alongside masterclasses designed to support a professional life of writing.

Some of our showcase projects run as one off or annual events, while some are ongoing throughout the year. All students at the Seamus Heaney Centre are encouraged to participate, and bring their own ideas for events and projects forward.
