Literature Development and Regeneration – An Introductory Training Day

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

I’ve been very absent from this site recently (holidays and too much work!) but am going to do a cheeky plug for a training day I’m running for NALD in a couple of weeks….

The course is aimed at literature professionals who are thinking about setting up a literature project in a regeneration context. The day will introduce you to the world and language of regeneration, and show how writers and literature organisations can develop projects that engage with regeneration and urban change.

I’ll be joined by guest speakers: Anita Nadkarni, a trained architect, and experienced arts and regeneration professional, and Kate Cheyne from Architects in Residence.

As well as presentations and group discussions, there will be the chance for you to think about how your own work could fit into regeneration contexts and agendas.

Course attendees will be supported by online activity in the 6 month period after the workshop, allowing you to continue to access expertise, advice and support while you are developing your ideas.

10.00-16.00 Thursday 24th September

Venue: The Poetry School, Lambeth Walk, London

£30 NALD Members £60 Non members To book a place mail admin@nald.org

    Sarah,

    Hope all’s well with you and that you’ve had good trips this summer – I know I’ve felt a bit absent from the site for a few weeks as well….. I had an email about this, and loved the sound of it, but it clashes with the Litup poetry conference which I’m the Midlands rep. for, so I won’t be able to attend. Hope it goes well though, and look forward to hearing more about it afterwards. Take good care and see you soon.x
