In writing nonfiction stories, authors often used photographs for research and writing inspiration. This online workshop teaches you to do the same in bringing alive your stories and characters from a photographic prompt.

What you'll need to prepare:

• Paper
• Pen or pencil

This workshop is suitable for children aged 7-12 years.

This workshop will be conducted via the Zoom platform. Participants do not need a Zoom account to take part in the workshop.

Check out our full line-up of online children's workshop this May:

• Design Your Own Comic Book Character!
• Story Craft with Nek Selampit
• Pictures and Poetry, Assemble!
