Poetry workshop - Gareth Calway
Gareth will work with the poetry form of haiku to capture, create and distil an expression of what ‘real education’ is for us in 2010 and beyond. And if it comes out better in another form – a limerick? A monologue? A dialogue between teacher and pupil. A whole novel …that’s fine too.
