Workshops
A series of educational and community based workshops took place
along the route of the wall involving people of all ages and abilities.
These workshops introduced new audiences to the work of quality writing
and encouraged and supported new writing from the participants. New works
were created which examined historical and contemporary aspects of
the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site.
This began the process of making a new portfolio
of creative writing about a World Heritage Site which is both ancient
and modern - A.D. 122 to the 21st Century.
