Working With Marginalised Groups
If you’re interested in using poetry to work with marginalised groups, don’t miss this workshop with Dr Autumn Roesch-Marsh, qualified social worker and researcher. Beginning by sharing her experience of working with care-experienced young people on a project about friendship, Autumn will support participants to think about how they themselves might devise a one off session or series of sessions to work with a marginalised group. We will reflect on beginnings, middles and endings and what is needed from facilitators at each stage, as well as considering ethical issues and how to create safer spaces for participants. We will also discuss strategies for evaluating this work.
