“Fam Story” Have you been thinking about writing stories about your family and your life for future generations to know more about who they are, where they have come from, and what’s gone before?
Defyd Williams is offering a six-week course at The Village, Papanui (in the Creative Nest), tentatively planned for Thursday afternoons 2pm to 4pm. The course cost is $15 per session ($90 for course). Defyd trained as a history teacher and as a journalist for The Press (1986-1999).
The six sessions are:
- The Art of Storytelling – How I would like to be remembered (finding voice).
- The Main Idea – Childhood memories.
- What Works? – Who were my ancestors? Piecing the past together.
- Design and Art – Career path – publishing alternatives.
- Words – People in my life – proofing and editing.
- Gifts for the Future – who do I think I am? Turangawaewae and Whakapapa. (A journey of supporting each other).
Course Objectives:
1, Develop storytelling, styles and skills (your voice).
- Identify story themes and content that are most likely to interest younger generations.
- How will we pass these stories on.
Let Tracey at the Papanui office or Defyd know if you are interested. Course participation will be limited to 8 to 12 participants.
Please let us know by May 31st if you are interested. We are looking at a mid-June start date – with each session running for 2-3 hours on a Thursday afternoon.
