Brief Description:
Creative Writing for Beginners is an 8 week course that revolves around exploring the skills & craft of writing fiction. Writing stories for personal pleasure has become a popular pastime again as has writing poetry to post online for others to read and take inspiration from. During the recent pandemic and various lockdowns many of us sought out purposeful activities that can be done anywhere at any time and that require a minimum investment in new equipment (when it comes to creative writing the bare necessities are only paper and a pen/pencil). Engaging in creative pursuits has also been found to relieve anxiety and promote good mental health by providing a focus for concentrated thought. It doesn’t matter whether you want to write as an end it itself or to write with the intention of sharing your work with a wider audience, the well-being benefits come from engaging in the act of harnessing your creative energy. Although as with every craft the more accomplished the finished result, the more appreciation and enjoyment gained.
Creative Writing for Beginners will help you feel more confident in your abilities to communicate your ideas and will also give you the opportunity to experiment in a safe environment with different forms of storytelling to find which gives you the most satisfaction and creative enjoyment. Throughout the course you will learn about putting the skills & craft of storytelling into practice by working on a short story, a piece of memoir, a poem, and examining forms such genre fiction, plays and screenwriting. The emphasis is on having a go and learning by doing because there has never been a writer who cannot improve their work by rewriting in the light of feedback given and knowledge or experience gained (even Shakespeare crossed things out and had another go at finding the right word to convey exactly what he intended). Creative Writing for Beginners can’t promise to turn you into a great playwright, but it will give you plenty of opportunities to better appreciate and implement the skills necessary for successful storytelling whilst having fun playing with language along the way.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
- Identify writing goals and ways of working to achieve them.
Give and receive feedback. - Differentiate the elements required in storytelling.
- Identify the skills of creative writing.
- Write a short story, a piece of non-fiction memoir, and a poem.

Brief Description:
Let’s explore together the wonders of Greek baking. Learn how to bake a delicious Greek Honey Cake and some delectable sesame bread rings.
A Greek honey cake is a very light and moist cake that melts in your mouth. Its flavour is unique as it combines the sweetness of the honey with the tanginess of oranges making this a sublime combination. It is a great option to entertain as you do not need a mixer and it is glazed with an orange syrup which helps to keep it fresh and moist.
Sesame bread rings are very popular in Greece as they are eaten by people in the morning for breakfast or as a quick snack on their way to work. They are a wonderful complement for a coffee, and they keep for a long time, so they are the perfect make ahead snack. They are delicious and a real gem of Greek baking.

Paul HumphreysI hold a BA (Hons) in International Studies with the OU and an MA (Merit) in International Relations (IR) with Anglia Ruskin University. I am currently a doctoral research student with Brunel University researching the effects of the H.M. Governments PREVENT counter-terrorism strategy on professionals working in public welfare services. I have studied geopolitical events for many years and have always found it a fascinating subject. In terms of IR I am a adherent of the realist school of thought. I think a good understanding of IR has never been so important, because the current global order is in a state of flux and the West is facing the distinct possibility of decline and being eclipsed by a rising East Asia led by China.

Brief Description
Writing life stories is about capturing personal experiences in a way that can be understood and enjoyed by others. Everyone has a story to tell because every one of us has lived a life unique to us. Some people want to set down their journey through life to pass on to children or grandchildren whilst others may want to write an account of their family history. Perhaps you have a diary written by a relative or letters or recordings of the stories told down through the generations that you would like to pull together in a way that can give others a glimpse into what it might’ve been like to be that person. Writing life stories always starts with the desire to explore what the intensely personal experience of living might be like from someone else’s perspective and sharing in that perspective can enrich our own lives.
Our recent personal and community experience of the COVID pandemic has led many of us to want to capture what we and others have been through in a way that means our memories of it can be revisited and never be forgotten. Memories that are shared remain relevant, teach us something about the past and present and, most importantly of all, are not lost as time moves on and the world changes around us.
So if you want to share memories of a loved one or tell your story to others or spark new interest in the experiences of a family member from the past, a short course of Writing Life Stories will lead you through how to go about getting started. If you know the skills required and the various ways of tackling and presenting a life story project your enjoyment of writing one will be enhanced, and the finished result will be something others will want to read.
This course may be funded by Cambridgeshire Skills, so full attendance is required; you will also need to complete an enrolment form so that the office can apply for the funding and complete an individual learning plan weekly with your tutor.
