Migrant Voice and Povestry are hosting a series of creative writing sessions where we will explore our heritage, journeys and identities through storytelling in all its forms.
The sessions are open to women with the experience of migration: those who moved to Glasgow from elsewhere, those from Glasgow who have lived somewhere else, and those with ancestry in other parts of the world.
The sessions are suitable for those who don’t speak English fluently and we can offer language support.
Thanks to the funds from Glasgow Winter Wellbeing Fund, the stories written by the group will be collected and published in a literary and artistic anthology.
Fridays 10, 17, 24 March, 5.15 - 7.15 pm
