Workshops

I offer bespoke and off-the-shelf Writing Futures workshops for organisations and researchers across industry and academia. Workshops can be half-day or full-day for 3-10 participants. Choose from the Menu below or contact me for more information including cost.

I’ve been running writing workshops for over a decade, from Sweden to Germany, Scotland to Stavanger, for postdoctoral researchers through to foresight professionals. I’m always amazed and delighted to hear the futures that people write, when given a safe and creative place to do so.
