Haringey Welcome campaign group has partnered up with Haringey Literature Live to delivery this one-day masterclass with the wonderful author Ruth Valentine, specially discounted at £25 due to charitable cause. Just a few places remaining so please contact HLL via the website below if interested. Some details:

"This is a day for aspiring writers to apply their talents to the very relevant subject of how we welcome refugees and migrants into our communities. The masterclass is being run in partnership with Haringey Welcome, and invites participants to consider what welcome really means. What does welcome feel like? How would we wish to be welcomed, and what sort of welcome would we offer someone else? What does it mean to leave, to arrive, to adapt? What is home and how can we remake it? Participants can respond in any creative writing form which feels appropriate, and have the choice to have their work displayed at the Haringey Welcome event in March 2019.

Haringey Welcome is a group of local volunteers which campaigns to ensure that everyone in the borough, whether long-term resident or newly arrived refugee or migrant, is treated with respect and dignity. In 2018 they ran a poetry competition for primary schools, and published Welcome to Haringey!, an anthology of all the poems submitted."
