Andrea Rowe - Front Beach, Beach Beach - Shoreline Stories

 

Funding Amount: $3,650

Front Beach, Back Beach - shoreline stories will be a youth focussed, hosted story-sharing program for young people on the Mornington Peninsula in a contemporary, creative setting. Part writers workshop, part creative gathering, the session will encourage self-expression and writing skills development for young local residents. Guided by myself, a best-selling published author with Hardie Grant and experienced workshop host, the workshop will be held in a unique creative studio Jackie Jones which has just opened in the Capel Sound industrial estate. This 1-day free weekend catered workshop will feature spoken word story crafting, storytelling prompts and supportive youth engagement to inspire young people to write about our unique coastal lifestyle and their connection with it.
