A Hybrid Facilitated Writing Retreat: “Craft Your Craft” & “Brew and Bond”


Description: We would like to invite you to join us at the upcoming hybrid writing retreat to be held from 26 to 28 August 2024. This 3-day hybrid facilitated writing retreat provides a brilliant opportunity for aspiring and experienced teachers and pedagogic researchers to explore creative teaching practice and pedagogic research, learn new writing skills, and develop a supportive community. Different from a standard writing retreat which allocates a full period of time and space for writing, our retreat will feature a variety of activities, including a pre-writing retreat workshop on Day 1, sharing sessions and pedagogic research matchmaking on Day 2, as well as focused, uninterrupted writing sessions, and a post-workshop group consultation on Day 3. This is our very first writing retreat. We hope you will gain some insights from workshop speakers and academic peers, make meaningful progress on your current projects, and reflect on your practice and pedagogic research journey. Below please find some highlights of the days. Breaks are embedded throughout the event where light refreshments and meals will be provided.
