Creative writing & media workshop
Wednesday mornings bring an opportunity to collaborate to create and publish content for an online newspaper. This hands-on experience will develop skills in creative writing, digital design, and media production. Last year our young people started by publishing on Substack. We plan in Autumn to explore Lyfta’s Digital Literacy programme
which we have access too.
Workshop Elements that will interweave:
📝 Creative Writing – Articles, opinion pieces, poetry, short stories.
🎬 Reviews & Features – Music, film, local cafés, books, and more.
📱 Social Media – Link content to platforms, engage an our audience.
🎨 Visual & Creative Content – Weekly comics, photography, recipes, artwork.
📸 Photography & Media Production – Capturing images and videos to enhance content.
Our goal is a learner-led digital newspaper showcasing life at the Hub, opinions, and creativity, while developing real-world media and digital skills.

🌎🌍🌏 Journeys & Cultures workshop 🌎🌍🌏
Our discussions with our young people last year has led us to create a the following workshop: ‘Journeys & Cultures’ where we will invite learners to become global citizens by exploring the world through the lens of geography. Together we’ll investigate places, people, cultures, and environments, asking how our local lives connect to global systems. Through maps, stories, games and hands-on activities, learners will be invited a deeper understanding of our shared planet and the role we each play in shaping a more connected and sustainable world. We will be exploring integrating the Lyfta online learning platform into these sessions.
