Words of Colour Productions is a community enterprise initiative that aims to teach adults about literature and other writing forms, and to develop and promote creative writing skills to enable their work to be published and/or performed. Through the development and delivery of unique community arts and educational experiences, Words of Colour Productions aims to help people learn new skills and encourage them to participate fully in the arts, the local community and wider society.
Words of Colour Productions is committed to delivering quality services and to ensuring that our project activities address inequality by primarily targeting the most marginalised and socially excluded groups.
Words of Colour Productions’ projects aim to teach and empower people, improve their basic skills, personal development skills and build their self-confidence. Based on a track record of nearly ten years of working with adults, bolstered by the support of a network of creative professionals and educationalists, Words of Colour Productions have developed three core strands of activity:
Reading & Writing for Personal Development
Workshop-based projects for adults, for example, poetry and fiction using a range of literary forms and genres.
Writing Projects
Compiling, developing, editing and self publishing creative writing and journalistic contributions from unpublished talented individuals.
Career Guidance & Development
Training and development seminars and workshops for adults seeking to gain productive skills in the arts.
The team
‘I believe the Words of Colour Productions initiative has a great vision at its core and has been created to aid, nurture and open doors for creative writers who’s beautifully diverse voices would go unheard otherwise.’
