  • The Way Ahead the Future of Creative Writing in Education
    The Way Ahead the future of creative writing in education with special guests: Michael Morpurgo and Kate Atkinson a NAWE conference at The Hawkhills, York 16-18 November 2007 The Way Ahead: Introduction by Paul Munden This conference celebrates NAWE’s 20th year, and there are indeed real reasons to celebrate, over and above the date. When NAWE was first formed (by members represented on this latest conference programme) it had the aim of ‘widening the scope of writing in education, promoting the development of new ideas, offering practical help to less experienced writers and opening up a creative dialogue between writers, teachers and funding bodies.’ All those things have underwritten our every effort ever since, and with fruitful results. Current initiatives, such as our HE Network and our Writers in Schools Research Programme, funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, are applying those founding principles in fresh, determined ways. Education is always the subject of fierce debate. Try to imagine a time when we are all perfectly satisfied with the curriculum and how it is delivered! (It’s actually a rather sinister thought.) As the curriculum is once again undergoing major changes, it is especially appropriate that we are meeting to consider the way ahead for writers and their engagement with education at all levels. As the word ‘creativity’ has been liberally applied to new programmes of study, it is up to writers and other artists to help ensure that teachers are well supported in translating the new notions into meaningful practice. Sometimes this means working directly with official bodies.

  • Impact Case Study (Ref3b) Institution: Lancaster University
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: Lancaster University Unit of Assessment: 29 English Language and Literature Title of case study: Transformations in African Writing: Stimulating Creativity and Enabling Transcultural Exchange 1. Summary of the impact Creative Writing research projects funded by the British Council have created a transformative educational environment for African writers, developing life-changing training programmes. Designed and delivered by the Department of English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University, and led by Dr (now Professor) Graham Mort, these projects pioneered eMentoring and new online teaching pedagogies, engaging directly with over 300 African writers across 9 African countries, whilst creating outreach activity through a literary festival that engaged writers from 18 African countries and the UK. Three phases of cumulative practice-led research have helped to nurture a new generation of African writers with each project leading into the next: 1. Crossing Borders (2001-06) – connecting writers across 9 African nations, involving 300 writers linked to 36 UK mentors; 2. Radiophonics (2007-09) – creating exploratory forms of public debate and fiction through radio in Africa and reaching over 5 million listeners; 3. FEMRITE (2011-) developing and stimulating female writing in Uganda through training programmes. 2. Underpinning research The underpinning research for these projects began in Uganda in 2001. Mort’s six-week British Council writing residency at Makerere University (Kampala) in 2001 involved direct contact with Ugandan writers and led to his report identifying a sense of isolation amongst writers, a lack of training opportunities, limited awareness of contemporary literatures in English and few literary resources or opportunities for publication.
