Discover how writing can be more than self-expression—it can be a form of activism. In this dynamic course for 13–17 year olds, you’ll transform personal feelings into creative works that speak to the world. Through blackout poetry, turning crisis into art, and writing bold to-do lists for the future, you’ll use words as powerful tools for change, imagining and inspiring a brighter, fairer future for everyone.
