Description: World literature is not well known in Canada and people have no idea how rich and valuable it is. WBB members come from different cultural backgrounds and as participants of this project, they would talk about the literature of their homeland in short presentations (15-20 minutes). For details, please contact Nataliya.

Description: This workshop invites writers to move beyond being a tourist in the language into an authenticity of expression. The focus will be on group discussion and the exchange/critique of ideas and work-in-progress, with the instructor’s role one of providing guidance, support, and facilitation of individual expression and increased competency. Readings, discussions, and writing exercises will focus on integrating the rhythm, texture and patterns of your first language with those of English.
