PRS Asia SEA Workshop: Poetic, Narrative & Creative Inquiry Workshop
Event description
This workshop will use creative writing methodologies to capture impressions, dialogues, observations and other meaningful ‘data’ gleaned from the 'Regen VN' Social Innovation Challenge cluster activities, and to transmute that material into engaging creative outcomes. Participants will be encouraged to produce multiple short pieces - individually and as a collective - that will be redrafted for limited edition print publication and developed for possible dissemination as NTROs via journal publication.
