Donde Vivemos (Where We Live): A Bilingual Youth Writing Workshop
Este taller, inspirado por La Casa en Mango Street de Sandra Cisneros, invita a los participantes a reflexionar sobre el lugar donde viven. Experimentamos escribiendo viñetas, esbozos de personajes, y más.
Drawing inspiration from Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street, this workshop invites participants to reflect on where they live–real, imagined, past, or future. How do we make “a home in the heart” of it all? We’ll experiment with writing vignettes, character sketches, and more.
If you attend in person, JBWC doors open at 3:30pm. Feel free to drop in early to relax with a book, work on your writing, try a prompt, or catch up with your creative peers!
- The JBWC Creative Writing Programs for Youth are FREE and aimed at young students aged 12–18.
- This youth writing workshop is hybrid—you can attend in-person or from home!
