Creative Writing for Social Change brings people from globally diverse backgrounds together through the power of storytelling, using small, supportive online writing groups.

We teach the creative writing skills needed to transform lived experiences into impactful stories that challenge assumptions, broaden perspectives and build empathy between people who might otherwise never have the opportunity to meet.

The stories created are then given a platform through our website and social media, to allow a global audience to see the humanity behind the social, cultural and geopolitical issues that often divide us.

We believe that stories can change the way we see one another — and that changing the way we see one another can change the world.

Come and be part of the story!

Stories have a unique ability to engage the mind and heart. They have the power to inspire social change by connecting the reader emotionally with characters who have different beliefs and experiences from themselves. Stories allow the author space to unpack complex social issues through engaging narratives that draw the reader into their world and grant them a new perspective. Stories create empathy by taking the reader on a journey of discovery; and characters who have overcome adversity can inspire and empower.

‍Creative Writing for Social Change is for adults of any age and any background to dialogue and write creatively about the social issues that are most important to them, whether that is Islamophobia or Antisemitism, Patriarchy or Neurodiversity, Nationalism or Climate Change, Sexuality or Democracy.
