    The New Normal Project - Creative writing Inspired by Lockdown 2020

    Creative Writing project - Read by the writers:

    During the COVID 19 Pandemic we facilitated zoom sessions to share thoughts, feelings and experiences of lockdown.

    People came together through discussion,  creating and reading  their writing and performing sketches.

    There was sadness and reflection but we also had so much fun and laughter sharing, as often people were able to find humour in situations they found themselves in.

    We created a special. connection as a group.  So here are some of our written pieces.
