Joanna Wolfarth and M. L. Grieve, winners of the 2022 Festival writing competition, invite you to a free online creative writing workshop to inspire you to submit written pieces in the Urban Tree festival 2023 writing competition. The competition will be launched at the workshop. Regrettably both Joanna and Michele are unwell, however, our colleague and poet Geert Vermeire has kindly stepped in to assist in running the workshop.
Joanna and Michele were tasked with coming up with the theme for the competition and chose “Secrets of The Trees” – they will also make this theme central to this hour long creative writing workshop.
Secrets of The Trees
Our urban trees have stood central to the story of urban development and urban living for centuries. What human stories have they witnessed? Time to give the urban trees a voice!
How has the urban population relied upon them both practically and spiritually?
What do these trees represent to a variety of cultures?
What can our trees reveal about global connections and histories?
How do our trees help us find a sense of belonging in our urban environment?
What personal stories feature your urban trees? (Maybe you proposed under a tree, took your baby out for their first walk…etc)
What possibilities do urban trees provide for our future?
We at walk · listen · create are delighted to be hosting the submission process for the Urban Tree festival 2023 writing competition.
