“Time present and time past,

Are both perhaps present in time future, 

And time future contained in time past.”

T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets, Burnt Norton

This workshop is designed for anyone interested in practicing creative writing as part of a group, and in an interactive setting. How do we pay attention to the details around us? Where do we start? How do we familiarize readers with our text? and how to intertwine the personal with the social in a carefully crafted form of writing?   

The workshop invites those interested to reflect on their daily lives at a moment in time when written language dominates communication. The workshop includes reading and analyzing critique and literary texts. 

The workshop will be conducted in Arabic.
