Help Manchester City of Literature develop their Write Manchester programme for teachers

MADE hopes to draw on its network of teachers across the city to feed in to how Manchester City of Literature develops its Write Manchester programme.

Students at Chorlton High School take part in a creative writing workshop with Keisha Thompson and Contact Theatre as part of MADE’s launch week.

Write Manchester is a programme which strives to encourage residents of all ages to engage in creative writing.

This is to support confidence and well-being, to help develop literacy, to create writing that reflects on identity and location and, for those keen to continue their writing, it will signpost regular groups, short courses and development opportunities. We will celebrate and value the creativity of local people and build grassroots engagement with literature in any genre, style or format.

If you are a teacher in Greater Manchester and would like to let us know how we can best support you to bring creative writing into the classroom, fill out our short 5-minute survey here.

As an added incentive, each respondent will be added to a prize draw to win a £50 National Book token.
