Writing in French Verse
with Geneviève Genicot
2nd Saturday
14h – 17h
Writing with French Voices is a series of multilingual writing workshops where contemporary Francophone literature becomes the spark for your own imagination.
Each session begins with the discovery of a text by a contemporary Francophone author, read together and explored for its unique and original approach to a theme.
An English translation is provided, so, no need to speak French!
From there, guided by creative prompts, participants will write their own texts — in whichever language feels most natural.
The workshop closes with a sharing circle, where we can share and grow together in a safe space.
Each session €23
Including a €3 discount on any book purchased on the day.
