It was a very special day for us at The Write Space today when we launched the first mobile Write Kids Workshop.
The venue was Mas-F Martial Arts Centre in Dundalk, under the management of Wayne Rutherford.
It was kinda scary venturing into an arena full of dedicated, and hard working children and young adults.
But the imagination took over and everyone started creating their own characters. Some even gave them secret powers and favourite foods to eat.

The objective was to introduce the writing element in a fun way. This was achieved with the group gradually writing a small story on the reverse of their creative drawings. The results were great.
We had everything. A boy who was called Pen Boy, with the power to destroy with the click of pen. Another who could shine lazers out from his eyes, and had firey breath. One chracter smelled so badly and was a nerd. And that was part of his superpowers!
Aoise helped distribute the pages and pens. It was a lovely way to spend the morning.
Good to know the group’s motto is “I achieve what I believe.”
