The initiative, aimed at young people aged 12 and over, takes place at the Municipal Library of Portimão, every two weeks, on Fridays, from 18:30 pm to 19:30 pm.
The Creative Writing Club for Youth will be a means for participants to convey, according to its principles, their ideas and feelings, based on words.
«The aim of this club is to create habits and writing routines that can be ingrained and further developed over time by all those who wish to do so», stresses Analita Santos, responsible for the initiative.
Over six sessions, participants will be able to write, read and talk in a relaxed way about their literary creations.
In this first level, which will run from December 13th to March 20th, participants will get to know the world of creative writing, through the use of specific themes and creative exercises, such as the fantastic binomial, unlocking creativity, observation and sensory writing, narrative structure, character creation and bibliotherapy.
Every month, participants will be invited to write a text in light of a theme presented during the session. The text will then be published online at www.oprazerdaescrita.com.
The sessions will be conducted by Analita Santos.
