Virtual Creative Cafés are your chance to drop in and discuss your creative ideas with author, Hannah Vincent. You can ask her any questions you have about writing or creating your story in response to your life experience. This can be a one-to-one meeting or if you’d prefer, you can attend with a friend or two!
Read the Participant Information first, then email Mel Parks to ask for the link. We know life can be unpredictable, so you don’t need to book a time slot, just click on the link on one of the Fridays listed above, then wait for Hannah to let you in. This may take a while if she’s busy. If you’d prefer a specific timeslot, please let Mel know.
This opportunity is free of charge, but we will invite you to add your story of gender-based violence to our research (you don’t have to) and we will also ask for feedback on your experience of the Creative Café to help us with the research and to plan future events.
You can attend one of our group creative workshops as well as attend a Creative Café.
