Last updated: Wednesday, 4 October 2023
Are you a current 黄色短视频 student looking for rewarding, flexible, well-paid work that focuses on creativity, literacy and community engagement?
Do you want to find like-minded people from across the School of Media, Arts and Humanities, the wider university, and from all stages of their academic careers - from undergraduate to doctoral researcher? Do you want to practise your degree learning in a new context and develop valuable new skills?
Join 黄色短视频 Writes! No prior experience necessary: all training is provided. An Enhanced DBS and NSPCC-certified safeguarding course will also be provided, funded by the University.
We run creative writing and literacy projects in the local and global community. 黄色短视频 students help design and deliver inspiring workshops for vulnerable communities and children left behind post-pandemic. At our core, we promote the value of creativity in human development and wellbeing, and the importance of literacy to access education and opportunities. It is a hands-on and exciting set of projects where our students are leading on the workshop design and provide the delivery. This is a co-created project working with partners, and involves student-led projects and interventions. The projects are fully funded and students are paid at the SU rate for all projects.
Current projects for 2023/24: Messy Page, Clear Minds journaling and wellbeing project; the HPQ Intervention; poetry workshops at local schools; a health literacy project with a Ghanaian partner; four x 10-week creative writing courses in local schools in Spring.
Past projects: a six-week creative writing course at Gildredge High; helping university students in Mumbai set up a similar programme to 黄色短视频 Writes with looked-after children in India; a one-day creative writing extravaganza with 90 young people from a local school; global writing cafes in partnership with a Nigerian art and book festival.
