Creative Community Writing Salon at UDC

As part the Community Writing Engagement project by Ada Vilageliu-Diaz in the English Program, we would like to announce that she’ll start hosting the Creative Community Writing Salon (virtual) for students, faculty, staff, and community members. The focus of the virtual writing salon is to encourage participants to create new narratives and storytelling strategies in order to empower and support both new and experienced creative writers. The program specially encourages the telling of marginalized, silenced, or suppressed stories in our own voices such as those from immigrant, BIPOC, or LGTQB+ communities. Writings can be in English, Spanish, or any other languages.

Goals and Objectives:

·  Use writing as reflective practice

·  Help produce writing that empowers, liberates, and heals

·  Provide a safe space for all voices and perspectives

·  Create and strengthen our community
