This group will focus on poetry and writing that expands boundaries of thought and explores themes of social action and human rights. The workshop includes critique of personal writing, the sharing of notable poets and writers, and encourage the publication of finished work by individuals of the group. Writers play an important role in human rights advocacy as an expression of universal human experience. Writers can tell the truth, the good, the bad, the beautiful, our joys and sorrows. Writers reflect back to us and create future visions and say what others fear saying. We need writers to write new stories. Free.
