Writing Well
Sgwennu’n Well | Writing Well focuses on intensely developing the skills and knowledge of literary facilitators specifically in the field of Health and Well-being and Nature. It is a 15 month-long, professional development programme with aftercare support for a group facilitators with some experience of project delivery in communities.
The first three months offers opportunities to hone skills in areas such as:
- project development and management
- running budgets
- capturing and communicating impact
- safeguarding their groups and themselves
The group will explore the theory and practice of running literature for health and well-being projects for a wide variety of participants in various settings.
Each artist will also receive a minimum of 4 one-to-one sessions with a mentor; as well as opportunities to network, make new contacts and build relationships with other writers.
Following the initial three-month training programme, and three months for project planning, the intention is to offer facilitators a pot of funding to deliver projects they have designed during the initial stages of the programme.
After the 15-month programme, Literature Wales will continue to work with the cohort and with other partners to make sure that they are able to receive the support and advice they need to reach their goals.
