Fail Forward: A Writing Session
Are you worried about your future? Whether you are thinking about career paths, what city to move to next, or if you still love your studies, this workshop is for you! Join us for a two-hour guided writing session by Helena Grande about 'failing forward' to put a positive spin on failing and losing gracefully.
What is failure?
As Elizabeth Bishop wrote: "Failure, like losing, is an art not too hard to master, though it may look like disaster". During this workshop you will practice embracing creative solutions. No prior writing experience is necessary.
