Write Away Writing Series: With SWC classroom workshops, the writing is actually secondary. Rather, we utilize the mechanics of creative writing for building confidence, bolstering esteem and encouraging creative problem solving. All workshops are customized, interactive and grade-appropriate. The series is comprised of 1, 3 or 6 sessions and accommodates a rotation through no more than three classrooms per visit. Option to conclude with a classroom performance or reading.

Many adults, however, struggle to make their classes and programs relevant to the changing culture and needs of today’s youth. In order to bridge this educational-generational gap, OMAI teams up with Urban Word NYC to offer the Annual Spoken Word & Hip Hop Educator’s Institute each July at UW-Madison. University & CEU credit options available for interested individuals. To receive an Educator’s Institute application and registration information, contact Willie Ney at 608-890-1055 or wney@wisc.edu |
